The bookmark (or anchor) tool lets a user “jump” from any word, phrase, or image to another place on the same page. On your web page, the linked text will appear as a different color, indicating that additional information is available at the bookmark’s location.

For example, if your web page includes a list of alphabetical names, a list of letters across the top could jump the user down to the first name beginning with each letter. Click the “M” to see the names beginning with “M”, and so on.

When creating a bookmark, you must specify a:

• source: the text or image that the user clicks to move to the bookmark
• bookmark: the place to which the cursor jumps when the user clicks the source

To continue with the above example, each letter of the alphabet (“M”, for instance) is the source, and the names in the “M” section are the bookmark.

Creating a Bookmark Location

To create a bookmark in the Page Editor, follow these steps.

1. Select your bookmark image or text. Make sure that the cursor is at the location in your page where you want to place the destination.
2. Click the Hyperlink Manager link in the tool bar.
3. The Hyperlink Manager pop-up box appears. Choose the option “Create an anchor in this page":
   
   
   
   Enter the name of the bookmark. The bookmark can include the following nonalphabetic characters: ; / ? : @ & = + $ , - _ . ! ~ * ' ( ).
4. Click Done.
5. The page editor screen will return. (The bookmark will not visibly appear on the page.)

Pointing a Link to One of Your Bookmarks

1. Select the source text or image (this will be the text/image that your visitors click in order to jump to the bookmark).
2. Click the Hyperlink Manager button on the toolbar.
3. The Hyperlink pop-up box appears. Choose the option "A file (e.g. PDF, DOC) on my website; or a page/file on a different website”:




4. In the field provided, enter the name of your desired bookmark destination, preceded by the pound (#) symbol. For example, you would enter a bookmark name such as "#question1". Be sure to remove the http:// from the dialog box before adding your bookmark name.
5. Save your page. You should now be able to preview the page and test your link.
