Hi. I am very much an amateur, tending a small Website in my spare time. How can I do a link to a specific place in a page? I have a large block of text, and want to link index items to specific places in the text. If anybody knows the answer, please keep it very simple -- I'm not a professional programmer!
Many thanks,
Bobby22
 
<a href=&quot;#link&quot;>Click here</a>

The text below in the page. Let's link to the word cat in the next sentence. The <a name=&quot;link&quot;>cat</a> is black.

The word &quot;link&quot; can be whatever you want. Just match them. If the link should link to a particular spot in a different page use <a href=&quot;another.html#link&quot;>click here</a> the other page would then have a word surrounded by <a name=&quot;link&quot;>word</a> that you want to link to. Again the word &quot;link&quot; can be anything easy for you to use. DeZiner

Many thanks for your time and help. I'll give it a try.

Rgds,

Or you can do this:

Click on a word in the place you want to jump to. Then select Insert>Bookmark. Give it an appropriate name.

Then, insert a hyperlink where you want, only for the link, click the Bookmark button and choose the bookmark and choose OK.
