Take Away #5 on Google Summit for Education: How to Add a "Back to Top" Link on Really Long Documents on Google Docs

Have you ever shared really long documents with your students or colleagues and struggle scrolling back to the top? Even better, after students or colleagues read your really long document you may want them to: go back to a particular section of your document so you can further emphasise the key message of your doc or have your students or colleagues go "Back to Top" so that they may refer back to sections of your document to help them with the next activity. This 'take away #5' was part of +Davis Apas' talk on "Google Docs in It's New Skin".

Place your cursor on the title/heading of the paragraph you want them to refer back to. Click on Bookmark under insert.

Click on Link.

Go to the portion where you want students to go 'Back to Top' or to a particular paragraph.  Type 'Back to Top' or 'Back to Paragraph 1' or 'Back to (name of paragraph/section)'.  Then click on Link under Insert.

This will pop up, now click on Bookmarks.

Click on the link you bookmarked at the beginning.

Finally, click on Apply.  

You will now see the once black and still font in blue, underlined and once you hover over it, you will be shown the link to click that will take you back to your bookmarked section.
