Create Internal Links

 

Review of Hyperlinks A hyperlink is a direct connection from the current location of the cursor to another location.

You can create an absolute hyperlink to another web site.

You can create a relative hyperlink to another document within your own web site.

You can create a mailto hyperlink to an email message preaddressed to whoever you designate.

You can also create an internal hyperlink to another position in your current document.

For example, you may want to place a hyperlink at the bottom of a web page that will take the visitor back up to the top of that same web page.

Or you might want to provide a short table of the contents of a particular web page and link each item in the table of contents to the exact position farther down on the web page where the discussion of that item begins.

When we create this internal hyperlink we are hyper linking to a place on the web page that is variously referred to as a bookmark, a marker, or a target.
Bookmarks To create a bookmark at a location in a web page:
  • Position your cursor at the location you wish to use as your target.   Or you can highlight a word in the targeted line.
  • Choose Insert, Bookmark from the main menu.  The Bookmark dialog box will appear.

  • If you have highlighted a word where you wish the bookmark to appear, that word will appear in the Bookmark Name dialog box.
  • If you haven't highlighted a word or if you wish to change the bookmark name, type the desired name in the Bookmark Name text box.
  • Click on OK
To create a hyperlink to the bookmark:
  • Highlight the clickable text.
  • Click on the Hyperlink button on the Standard toolbar. The Create Hyperlink dialog box  will appear.

You might want to link to a bookmark in another file in your web site.   To do so, take the following steps:
  • Open the second page in Page View before you create the hyperlink.  Otherwise the list of  bookmarks in that page may not appear in the dropdown list.
  • Return to your initial file. 
  • Highlight the clickable text.
  • Click on the Hyperlink button to bring up the Create Hyperlink box.
  • Navigate to the second page and highlight it.  The filename will appear in the URL text box.
  • Click on the Bookmark drop-down menu in the Optional section in the lowest portion of the dialog box.  Choose your bookmark from the dropdown list.
  • Click on OK.
