How to use Filed Code(Ctrl+F9) to create bookmarks in Word 2016?

Question

When I use {SEQ} to number equations in word, i have the need to refer to some of them in my text. Traditionally I create bookmark in the option by click but it's very inconvinient doing this again and again.

So, would you please tell me how to create bookmarks by Filed Code? Thank you very much.

Besides, I am not an English native speaker, would someone help me to find the official Filed Code Documents in this website?Thanks a lot!

Hi @ComeOrDream

Please refer to PaulEdstein-6097's reply, the Set field and Ask field are helpful to create bookmarks.
Such as the following bookmarks I created, "Sentence" and "Export".

Then the Ref field can used to inserts the text represented by 2 bookmarks.

Any issues or updates, you can post back.

You can use SET and ASK fields to create bookmarks, but neither of these is going to be more convenient than simply bookmarking whatever you're interested in.

Of course, since they're equations, if you used Word's Equation captioning, you wouldn't need to bookmark them, since you can insert cross-references directly to Equations (and also to captioned Figures and Tables).

As for Word's field documentation, see, for example:
