One of the most common uses for a bookmark set is to provide enhanced navigation.

  1. Open the MKS Bookmark Examples document.
  2. Using the tabs at the top of the document, change to the Bookmark Sets Chapter by clicking the left mouse button on Bookmark Sets tab.
  3. Navigate to the "Solvents, ACS Green Chemistry Institute" bookmark set. (See the Navigation Overview documentation for details on navigating chapters and pages.)
  4. The bookmark contains a list of solvents considered to be environmentally friendly. We will use this bookmark set to navigate through a knowledge base.
  5. Open the MKS Core Knowledge Base document.
  6. Choose the Select Bookmark Set command from the Bookmarks menu. This command can also be executed by press the large letter "B" located on the toolbar. The application will activate the Select Bookmark dialog.
  7. Select the "Solvents, ACS Green Chemistry Institute" bookmark and press the dialog's OK button.
  8. The selected bookmark will be displayed in the lower right corner of the knowledge base's window.
