Create a bookmark

A bookmark is a location or selected text on a page that you have marked.

You can use bookmarks as a destination for a hyperlink. For example, if you want to display a certain section of a page to the site visitor, add a hyperlink with the bookmark as its destination. When the site visitor clicks the hyperlink, the relevant part of the page is displayed, rather than the top of the page.

You can also use one or more bookmarks to find locations on a page. For example, add a bookmark to each main heading on a page. When you are editing the page, you can quickly find each section by going to the corresponding bookmark.

If a location (rather than text) is bookmarked, the bookmark is indicated by . If text is bookmarked, the text is displayed with a dashed underline.

1. In Page view, position the insertion point where you want to create a bookmark, or select the text to which you want to assign the bookmark.
2. On the Insert menu, click Bookmark.
3. In the Bookmark name box, type the name of the bookmark (spaces are allowed.)
