Linking to an Anchor in a Document

To create a link to another location in the same document:

  1. Open an editbox for the location you want to be able to link to. Be sure that "Source" is not selected.
  2. Place the cursor at the location you want to be able to link to.
  3. Click the "Anchor" icon, which looks like a flag.
  4. Enter a name for the anchor.
  5. Save that editbox.
  6. Open an editbox for the location you want to be able to link from. Again be sure that "Source" is not selected.
  7. Highlight the text or image you want to be able to link from.
  8. Click the "Link" icon, which looks like a link in a chain.
  9. If the anchor is in the same editbox, select Link Type "Link to anchor in text", and then select the anchor either "By Anchor Name" or "By Element Id".
  10. If the anchor is in a different editbox, select Link Type "URL", and then enter a pound sign ("#"), followed by the anchor name, as the URL. Note: If you forget the pound sign, the link will not work correctly.
  11. Save that editbox.
The link you've created will work on both the View Document page and its printer-friendly window.
