Question VBA Command Buttons to Navigate thru Word

I have two questions about VBA and Word.

First, is there a good user manual for VBA? I bought one called 'Mastering Word VBA' on Amazon, and it is not easy to understand for a novice like me.

Second, is a practical question. Until now I have never used VBA as what Word couldn't do, I could use Adobe Acrobat Pro to do. Unfortunately, that solution is not an option for this customer.

I have built a (Word table) checklist (.docx) for end users to complete test steps and add screenshots into, with simple 'shape' built buttons with added cross-reference links for 'Ctrl + Click' navigation. Test steps (1-22) are on pages 2-3, then screenshot pages, 2 per page, are pages 4-14. (See example attached.)

What I would like to do is create a 'real' (functioning) button to replace my clunky ones, that with a single-click will navigate to the appropriate cross-reference that is already added as a bookmark in the document.

Is VBA even capable of doing this? If so, then:
1. How do I build the buttons I need and scale their size and text.
2. How do I add the cross-reference 'links' to the buttons.
3. Is there anything I need do to ensure the end users of this template can use the buttons?
