Links - Creating and Using Anchors

Anchors are a useful way to create an easier navigation of pages with a large amount of website or files linked in them.  Use anchors to make it easy to jump from section to section on a page serving as a repository. 

1.  Place your cursor next to the item you want anchored to.

2.  Click the button with an anchor on it.

3.  Enter a small name for the anchor section.  i.e. For the Lorem Ipsum section, the anchor name of lorem-ipsum would be sufficient, or, loremipsum.  Something similar to what you would have in a URL.

4.  Make sure you click the insert button to complete the first step.  If you followed these steps properly, a small icon of an anchor will show up where your cursor was.

5.  Highlight the text you want to link to the anchor.  That is, select the text that you want to be able to click to connect with the content you placed the anchor by.

6.  Now click the link button.  This button looks like two links of a chain.

7.  In the Link URL field, enter the # sign and the anchor name you previously entered.  For example, if you chose lorem-ipsum as the name of the anchor earlier, you would enter #lorem-ipsum in the Link URL field. 

8.  Click the insert button to complete the insertion process of an anchor.  The text will turn orange, like a usual link.
