Creating hyperlinks with bookmarks

Bookmark refers to a mark in a web page. It is usually used to create a local link to a specific location on a web page. A typical example is a link that says top that will take the visitor from the bottom of the page to the top when clicked.

A bookmark is an invisible marker that can be placed anywhere in a web document and that can be referenced by a hyperlink. Setting a hyperlink to a bookmark lets you jump to a specific location where a bookmark has been inserted in a long document.

To link to a bookmark in the target document, enter the bookmark here. Do not type the # character; it will be added to the URL automatically. If the target document is on a local drive, any bookmarks in it will be listed in the drop-down menu. Select one from the list. Alternatively, you can type the bookmark directly into the URL in the URL field.

To create a hyperlink with a bookmark on same page:

1. Select Insert > Bookmark...

2. A small bookmark symbol () will appear. Place the bookmark symbol at the location you intend to insert.
You may use the default name (bookmark1) or rename it for the bookmark. Double click the bookmark symbol to rename in the bookmark properties dialog box.
Make sure the name of bookmark does not contain any spaces.
3. Select text or an image you want to link to the bookmark you created.
4. Click the "Hyperlink" button on the toolbar. A "Hyperlink" dialog box appears.
5. Click the arrow next to the URL drop box, select the current page from the drop box.

6. Select a bookmark from the Bookmark pull-down box.

7. Click OK.

To create a hyperlink with a bookmark on other page:

1. On your second page, insert a bookmark by clicking Bookmark... on the Insert menu.
2. A small bookmark symbol () will appear. Place the bookmark symbol at the location you intend to insert.
You may use the default name (bookmark1) or rename it for the bookmark. Double click the bookmark symbol to rename in the bookmark properties dialog box.
Make sure the name of bookmark does not contain any spaces.
3. Switch to your first page by clicking the page name on the Page menu, select text or an image you want to link to the bookmark on the second page.
4. Click the "Hyperlink" button on the toolbar. A "Hyperlink" dialog box appears.
5. Click the arrow next to the URL drop box, a list of all current pages in the site will be displayed. Select one from the drop box.

6. Type the bookmark name in the Bookmark box. For example: bookmark1. # is NOT needed.

7. Click OK.
