In PowerPoint, how do I anchor hyperlink to a specific point?

[JoelWhy]

I am creating a PowerPoint presentation, and have created a hyperlink to a
website. Can I direct the link to take you to a specific point in that
website (as opposed to the top of the page)?

I believe I need to somehow create an "anchor". Is that right? If so, is
that something that can only be done by the person running the website I am
linking to?

You would need to create a named anchor on the website and then link to it

As an example there's a named anchor "vba" on the PowerPoint Alchemy
tutorials site and the link would be

So, just to clarify, in order to create the anchor, I would need to imbed
this in the actual webiste source code? (i.e. If I'm linking to, say, a news
story on CNN.com, I would not be able to create my own anchor.)

So, just to clarify, I would only be able to use an anchor if I can imbed the
anchor in the source code? (i.e. I coulnd't create an anchor in, say, a
hyperlink to a news story on CNN.com.)

That's correct.

But if you look at the source code for the web site, you might get lucky and find
an anchor there already.

Thanks!
