How to permanently place bookmark icon on the top toolbar

I am switching my Microsoft Word from 2008 version to 2019 version.

My 2008 version allows me to permanently place the bookmark icon on the top toolbar. It is so nice and convenient because I use the bookmark frequently. I can do that by going to the top menu/view, select “customize toolbars and menus,” select commands, then select bookmark, and drag bookmark to the top toolbar.

I have looked many times and haven’t figured out how to do the same with my 2019 version. Please help! Thanks!

    Hi Grace,

    Can you choose All Commands and find the Insert a Bookmark in the Quick Access Toolbar?

    Thank you too John for helping me!

    I am stuck at your first step of

    “Toward the left end of the blue bar at the top of the Word window, there is the AutoSave switch and several icons.”

    I had messed around and tried to rearrange for myself until to the point I started to look here for help. I cannot find the “autosave switch and several icons” “Toward the left end of the blue bar at the top of the Word window” on my screen.

    I need more help!

    Thank you Chitrahaas!

    I am able to follow your steps but get stuck at:

    “In Choose commands from, select Insert tab>”

    under “choose commands from,” there is a menu of 8 choices: “popular commands, commands not in the ribbon, all commands, macros, all tabs, main tabs, tool tabs, custom tabs and groups.” I looked at all of the 8 choices and cannot find “insert tab!” I see choices of “insert comment, insert page section breaks, insert picture, and insert text box, insert table,” and many insert many other things. But I don’t find “insert tab!”

    Please help me more! Thanks!

    The Word 365 equivalent is the Quick Access Toolbar. 

    1. Toward the left end of the blue bar at the top of the Word window, there is the AutoSave switch and several icons. Click on the down-pointing arrowhead at the right end of these icons and choose More Commands.
    2. Change the Choose commands from dropdown to All Commands.
    3. Scroll down the left-hand list to Insert a Bookmark and select it.
    4. Click on the button with the right-pointing arrowhead. The command is added to the right-hand list.
    5. Click on Save. The icon is added to the QAT.
