I have FP2002 and I am trying to create a link that would bring a user to a particular spot on a page. I have a lot of info on one page that is broken into groups. So, I am trying to create different links to jump to that group on the page so a user would not have to scroll all the way down to find that info. I'm sure this is probably a simple thing but I don't know what it's called or how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Chris,

It would be a bookmark. You can use this process to link to a single word, set of words or image if you prefer.
In the case of text, highlight the text you wish to reference >> go to Insert >> Bookmark. After setting your Bookmarks, I recommend saving the page. Now select the link text, go to Hyperlink properties and you should now see the Bookmark(s) showing up when you click Bookmark on the Hyperlink properties dialog box.

In 2K this would appear as a DropDown listing the Bookmarks.

Hope I have been of some help,
Micheal Smith

actually, I think the following code may help:

Put this (in the HTML)where you want the user to go to, (for best results, put the

Code: 
<A NAME="area1">

Then the link to that location would be:

Code: 
index.htm#area1

This can be put in at any point on the page, allowing the user to click the link on the page, and it take them to the section you are referring to.

This can also be used as 'Go to Top' links, by putting the 'A Name' in the <HEAD>

Hope this has been of some use, and what you were looking for, a very slick way of doing it, minimal coding, and 100% precision!
