Internal Links (Example -- there is a bookmark here called "top")

Sometimes you want to create links to different sections within the same document. Especially in long documents, it's helpful to the user to have a table of contents at the beginning so they can skip directly to the section they want to see. You can also use this approach to link to specific portions of other documents.

The first step is to create a "bookmark" at the location you want to link to. In the case of a newsletter, this would be at the heading of each article.

To make a bookmark:

1. Select a location in the document for the bookmark (perhaps a section heading)
2. Highlight at least one word of text at the bookmark location
3. On the pull-down menu, click EDIT à BOOKMARK….
4. Give your bookmark a descriptive name.
5. Click OK.

To make a link to your bookmark:

1. Choose a place for the link (i.e. table of contents)
2. Type some words that will be hyperlinked
3. Highlight the words
4. Click the "Make Hyperlink" icon (or hit Ctrl-k).
5. In the OPTIONAL section, use the pull-down box next to the word "Bookmark" to choose the name of the bookmark you want to link. Click OK.

If you are linking to a bookmark in another page, use the same procedure, but choose the file you want by browsing your FrontPage Web first, then select the bookmark name from the pull-down list.

Tip: descriptive names for your bookmarks will save time when you go to link to them.

Example: This link goes back to the bookmark called "top"
