How to link from text in one section of a page to text in a different section of the same page

PART ONE: Linking to (DO THIS FIRST)

  • At the top of the page, to the right, click on "edit"
  • Put the cursor at the beginning (or to the left) of the text that is closest to the bottom of the document. 
  • Click on the "+" (plus sign) on the editing bar at top of screen
  • Choose  "Other Macros"
  • Click on picture of the anchor
  • Type in a name for the anchor–it can be anything you want. It will not show up in the saved document.
  • Click "insert" at bottom of the window

PART TWO; Linking from (DO THIS NEXT)

  • Highlight the text that is closest to the top of the document
  • Click on the "Insert Link" picture (not the plus sign)
  • Click on "Advanced" from the menu to the left
  • Fill lin the blank next to "Link" with the same name you gave the anchor, preceded by a number sign # (leave no space between the number sign and the anchor name)
  • The blank next to "Link Text" will be automatically filled in with the text you have highlighted
  • Click "insert"
  • Click "save" and test out the links.
  • Clicking on the first line of text in the upper section should bring you farther down in the document to the second line of text in a lower section of that same document.
