Creating Link in PDF to named Destination

I'm using Acrobat 6 Standard, and I want to create links from the Table to content to specific areas in my document, not just to certain pages. I've already created bookmarks, but from what I've seen from googling this, you can't use this for creating links in the document (you have to use named destinations, right?). So I have two questions:

1. When I create a named destination - how do I tell it what part of the document it points to?

2. How do I use it to create the link in the document?

Sorry, I'm sure this sounds confusing, but hopefully somebody can help me out?

Thanks in advance

...not sure about Acrobat 6 Standard, but in Acrobat 7 you have the link tool, is there a link tool in Acrobat 6?

...with the link tool you highlight the area on the contents page you want the user to click on, you then set the page and zoom etc manually, then set the link...

...also with bookmarks in Acrobat 7 you set the page and zoom etc manually BEFORE you create a bookmark, this then holds within the bookmark information. I imagine this is similar to how Acrobat 6 works...
