Linking to anchors

Once an anchor has been inserted onto a page in your website, you are free to link to 

it.  The first step in creating this link is establishing the named anchor (see  Creating 

named anchors  on page 75), and this second step is creating the link to the named 

anchor.

1.

Select the text or image on the web page that you would like to use as a link.

TIP: Remember that anchor names 

2.

Click the Link box in the Properties panel and, if the anchor is on the same page 

are case sensitive.  Be sure to enter 

as the link, type a pound symbol (#) and the name of the anchor to which you wish 

it in the link exactly as you named 

to link.  Do not add a space after the pound symbol,

the anchor.

OR if the named anchor is on a page different from the link, see  Linking to 

anchors on other pages  on page 79.
