How to hyperlink to a portion of a page?

[Chunky]

Hello

Have you seen the sites where you click on a hyperlink and it directs you to
a portion of the htm page. I beleive it has something to do with defining
coordinates.

Any help Please!!!!

It's a bookmark. Look in the FP Help section.... all the instructions are
there.

No coordinates, just add a bookmark.

- Highlight the text that you want to jump to (the destination)
- Click "Insert | Bookmark" (or Ctrl+G if you're a keyboard type of person)
- The bookmark name will default to the same as the selected text. If you
highlighted more than one word, there will be spaces which are a bad thing.
I usually change the name value to something that is one meaningful word and
all lower case.
- Click "OK". The bookmark is now available to link to.

In "Normal" mode you'll see a black, dashed underline that indicates the
text is a bookmark. To create a link to the bookmark, highlight your link
text and create a hyperlink (this assumes you are using FP2002, I think
FP2000 was a little different in the interface, but you should get the
idea):
- Click "Insert | Hyperlink" (or Ctrl+K)

- - -If the link and the bookmark are on the same page
- Click the "Bookmark..." button
- Select the name of the bookmark
- Click OK

- - -If the link and the bookmark are on different pages
- Find the page the bookmark is on and select it in the file list. Note
that you _do_not_ have to actually open the file.
- Once the file is selected, click the "Bookmark..." button
- Select the name of the bookmark
- Click OK

Hope that helps!

Hi,

You'll need to create a bookmark at the location, Insert | Bookmark, then
when you create the link click on the Bookmark button to select it.

Hello

Have you seen the sites where you click on a hyperlink and it
directs you to a portion of the htm page. I beleive it has
something to do with defining coordinates.

In addition to the other ideas, if you are using custom JavaScript or DHTML
menus you can "point" to the location in a page with ...

<a href="page.htm#bookmark">

... if the bookmark has been independently inserted in the desired page, at
the desired location.
