Create a bookmark

A bookmark is a location or selected text on a page that you have marked.

You can use bookmarks as a destination for a hyperlink. For example, if you want to display a certain section of a page to the site visitor, add a hyperlink with the bookmark as its destination. When the site visitor clicks the hyperlink, the relevant part of the page is displayed, rather than the top of the page.

You can also use one or more bookmarks to find locations on a page. For example, add a bookmark to each main heading on a page. When you are editing the page, you can quickly find each section by going to the corresponding bookmark.

If a location (rather than text) is bookmarked, the bookmark is indicated by . If text is bookmarked, the text is displayed with a dashed underline.

1. In Page view, position the insertion point where you want to create a bookmark, or select the text to which you want to assign the bookmark.
2. On the Insert menu, click Bookmark.
3. In the Bookmark name box, type the name of the bookmark (spaces are allowed.)

Create a hyperlink to a bookmark

A bookmark is a location or selected text on a page that you have marked. You can create a hyperlink to a bookmark when you want to display a certain section of a page to the site visitor. When the site visitor clicks the hyperlink, the relevant part of the page is displayed, rather than the top of the page.

For example, you can use bookmarks to navigate a long page that contains five headings. Create a bookmark at each heading, and at the top of the page add a table of contents that lists these headings. Each entry in the table of contents is a hyperlink that uses a bookmarked heading as a destination.

A hyperlink to a bookmark, also called an anchor, is indicated by a pound sign (#), which precedes the destination URL.

4. In the Bookmark box, click the bookmark you want to use as the destination.
