What are "anchors" & how do I use them?
|
Normally, when you click on a link on most web pages, it simply displays the new web page, starting at the top. Correct? But what if you want to create a link that takes your visitor to a particular place, or section, of a page? Well, then, you need to use anchors.
First, let's see it in action ...

There are two steps involved:
(1) creating the anchors
(2) linking to them

Section 1: Creating the anchor
1. Position your cursor to where you wish to place the anchor. In my case, I placed it at the start of each Section.
2. Click on Insert > Anchor, and a window pops up allowing you to assign a name to your anchor. Each anchor should be uniquly named within a page.
3. Repeat this for each section of your page that you wish to add an anchor

Section 2: Linking to the anchor
In the first part of my page, I entered text, such as Introduction, Planning, etc. These texts will be the links to each section.
1. Simply highlight your words (like 'Introduction') to be linked
2. Click on Link > Link to an Anchor On > Current Page
3. A window poips up with a list of available anchors to select from. These are the anchors you created in section 1 above.
