Named Anchors and Named Destinations Linking to different parts of webpages and PDFs December, 2011
The “One Long Page” Strategy
Start with a word document Save it as “.rtf” Copy-and-paste it into a blank web page Right-click>Paste Special allows you to copy text only, text with structure (e.g. paragraphs) and/or formatting (e.g. bold) 1 column template gives you the most “real estate” Rename it before you make changes! Formatting the text
Set the named anchor Put the cursor where you want the anchor to go Click the anchor icon in the insert panel Name the anchor Use a naming convention so you can remember it! Link to the named anchor Select text Use the link box of the PI # + name of anchor E.g. #enro Two Steps
You need to give the end-user an easy way to navigate the page Put a “Back to top” link at the end of each section Place a named anchor named “top” at the top of the page Link to the anchor (e.g. #top) Back to Top Links
Set the link to the page with the anchor You can use the “Point to File” icon Add # + name of anchor to the end Page name + # + anchor name E.g. – 4-h.shtml#enro Linking to a Named Anchor From Another Page
A way to link to a specific spot in a PDF Place the page the way you want it to look Change zoom levels Change alignment Click the target icon (1) Click the New Destination icon (2) Name the destination E.g. table1 Named Destinations
Put the document inside your root folder “Docs” folder is a good place Link to the document Select text Use the link box of the PI Use the “Point to file” icon Add # + name of destination E.g. - docs/econ-impact-report.pdf#table1 Link to the destination
