Appellate court eFiling - Adding bookmarks and links to a brief or appendix

Purpose: This article explains how to use Microsoft Word 2010 or later to add bookmarks and links to a brief or appendix. Bookmarks are added to a Microsoft Word document to mark locations for easy accessibility. These bookmarks can be used to create links at the beginning of the document. (Note that a table of contents with bookmarks can also be created using headings and the table of contents tool in Microsoft Word. Please consult the help feature in Microsoft Word for additional information on this feature.)
