Anchor links help users navigate sections of a long page by taking them directly to a particular area of a page. An anchor link is comprised of two elements: the link itself and the anchor on the target page.

2. Select the Hyperlink Manager button ( ) available in the toolbar and the dialog window will appear.
3. In the dialog window, select the Anchor tab, enter the name of the anchor link into the appropriate field (no spaces in the name) and click the OK button (see the screenshot below):
