Creating Anchors Last updated 6/16/20

What is an Anchor?

What component should I use?

Anchors allow you to click a link at the top of the page and jumps you down to another section of the page.

More than one Text Window component!

2

Place the text window at the top of your page (as the first component)

I usually label mine “Anchors”

3

Create a Table in your text window.

Add titles of the sections you want to jump to on your page.

Don’t link them yet. Save the Titles.

4

Either add a NEW text window or go into edit an exisiting text window.

These text windows need to be placed ABOVE the location you are wanting to “jump to”

I often place these in a “spacer” text window, but they can also be placed into an exisiting text window.

5

Edit the text window that you want to “jump to” from the titles at the top.

Click the Anchor icon in the edit bar of the text window.

Name your PDF the SAME as the title you typed at the top of the page. You can use spaces or not, as long as it matches what we link in the top title in the next step.

A flag will appear when an anchor has been made.

Click OK and save the component.

6

Now we link these titles to the anchors you’ve created!

1.	Highlight your title
2.	Click the hyperlink icon

7

In the URL, add a # and then the same title you’d placed in your anchor. These must be EXACTLY the same.

Click OK and save the text window.

8

To test it: click the link at the top and make sure it jumps down to where you placed your anchor!

Tip:
• Create your titles all at once. Copy them to a word doc. So you can remember for when you create the anchors.
• Place all of your anchors throughout the page at once. • Then, link to all of your titles at one time.
