## Linking within a page

In addition to being able to link to a different page, you can also link to a specified location, called an anchor, attached to an item on a page. When the user clicks the link, the page is automatically scrolled to the position of the item within the browser.

This is useful if you have a long document on a single page, such as a list of products organized into categories, and you want to allow the user to jump straight to the appropriate category heading in the list.

### To create an anchor

- Highlight the text or insert the insertion point cursor where you want to create the anchor.
- Open the Edit menu and choose Anchor....
- In the Define Anchor dialog box enter a name for the anchor and click the OK button:

An anchor symbol will be displayed to the left of the text or insertion point:

### To create a hyperlink to an anchor

- Open the Edit menu and choose Hyperlink..., or click the button to the left of the Hyperlink field and choose Other... from the pop-up menu.
- In the Edit Hyperlink dialog box select Internal, click the page you want to link to, and select the anchor name from the Anchor pop-up menu:

- Click the OK button.

### To specify the target for a hyperlink

Normally when the user clicks on a hyperlink the new page is displayed in the same window as the previous page.

You can also specify that the new page should open in a separate window. This is useful if you want the user to be able to get back to the previous page easily, such as after displaying a help page.

- Open the Edit menu and choose Hyperlink....
- Choose _blank from the Target pop-up menu:

The other options are only useful in frame-based pages; see the Freeway Reference guide.

### To follow a graphic hyperlink

- Select the graphic item containing the hyperlink.
- Open the Edit menu and choose Follow Link....

### To follow an internal text hyperlink

- Select the text in an HTML item or graphic item that has been defined as a hyperlink, or position the insertion point somewhere within the hyperlinked text.
- Open the Edit menu and choose Follow Link....

The current page in the Freeway document will change to the page linked to by the hyperlink.
