Putting markers like the asterisk isn't very useful if he/she plans to print or
emboss this document unless a copy is made then the markers are removed before
committing to hard copy or sharing it. Otherwise they will be visible or gone
next time he/she needs to alter the document and it seems to me that was the
point.
Heading styles or bookmarks make a lot more sense.
For the record I generally use the up arrow (shift 7) for a marker when I want
one since it is almost never needed in text.
