Overview
An anchor allows you to hyperlink into the middle of a page, instead of the top. This is useful to instantly highlight some feature on your page or to improve navigation on a very long page.
To use, add an anchor to a page, then hyperlink to it from another page. Pretty straightforward.
Anchors can be added to text or to images. You have to be in Page view to add anchors.
Adding and Removing Anchors
- Select the place in the text or the image to which you want to add an anchor. NOTE: if you are adding to text, do not highlight any text. Double-click on the text box to enable the text cursor, then click once on where you want to place the anchor.
- Bring up the properties palette. In both the text and image properties palettes, there will be an “Anchor...” button at the bottom of the dialogue box. Click this button
- The next dialogue asks you to name the anchor. It also gives a list of anchors already on the page. Note that you cannot have two anchors with the same name on a single page. Name your new anchor, then click “OK.”
- To remove or rename an anchor, select the point in the text or the image containing the anchor. Bring up the properties palette and click on “Anchor...” again. You get the same dialogue box as in step 3, except it’s called “Change anchor.” Click “Remove” to remove the anchor, or type in a new name and click “OK” to rename the anchor.
Linking to Anchors
- Follow steps 1-2 on the hyperlinks page.
- Be sure the “Internal Link” tab is selected.
- Select the page as before. But this time, note that there is an “Anchor” sub-box at the bottom. If there are any anchors on the selected page, then the “Select anchor” dropdown will be active. Use the dropdown to select the anchor to which you want to link.
- Click “Link” to finish.
