I can't seem to get bookmarks to work. Is there a secret?

I'm having no luck using bookmarks in FrontPage 2000. Is there some
under-documented secret? <g>

I can create the bookmarks on a page. I can save the page and retrieve it
and the bookmarks are there just like I expect them to be. But when I
create a hyperlink on another page to point to the bookmark, none of them
appear in Optional Bookmark drop down list.

What am I missing?

thanks,

Leave the page with the bookmarks open.

In your page where you are creating a link to a bookmark, do the standard "Create hyperlink" routine
and then click once on the name of the page containing the "bookmarks" and then click the Bookmark
button on the hyperlink dialog.

Also,

Keep in mind that multiple word bookmark names will break your bookmark links in some browsers.
Use single words or words connected with underscores.
Examples:
book mark will break
bookmark will work
book_mark will work.
