How can I assign the "Insert Bookmark" function to a keyboard shortcut? This command is not listed in the Keyboard menu under the Customize window. It does appear in the commands that can be assigned to a toolbar, oddly enough.

Look, there are so many function names that most of the time I end up reading the whole list in Customize Keyboard > All Commands to find what I need. To top it off, the naming is not consistent: the one you want goes by the misleading name of EditBookmark and it's got a preassigned shortcut: Command Shift F5.

I appreciate the answer which got me there quickly.
I do feel the need to point out that in the 2013 Word at least, the keystroke is Ctrl Shift F5.
(A small correction, not intended to detract from the answer.)
Thanks so much Daniel! Silly me, I was looking through all the commands under Insert, which is where Bookmark appears on the menus. M$ naming is not just inconsistent, it's horribly, stupidly wrong. The only explanation for such sloppiness is that M$ deliberately hobbles Word for Mac.
Another example is the "Insert Comment" command, which must be assigned to the keyboard as "Insert Annotation."
Please, M$, clean up your moldy breadwinner! As a free alternative, Open Office is not nearly as buggy and sloppy, and we don't have to rely on user groups to compensate for inadequate product testing and a paucity of documentation.

Help! The response is helpful but now in the world of MS Edge and all that - what key is "Command"
I feel stupid but I've tried every Windows key combination and nothing works!!

The Group you are posting this reply to is Office/Word/Mac.
To receive an answer for Word/Windows you are going to have choose from one of the 20 or so different Windows versions and Office version available.
Most, not all commands that use Control or Alternate key are mapped to the Option/Alt key on Mac Keyboard, on Mac computers. NOTE: I said most. (not all.)
Edge is a Windows product and will never be on a Mac unless Microsoft makes it available, which I doubt will happen in the rest of my Lifetime.

This is the Word for Mac section, so Windows keyboard shortcuts aren't useful.
