Using Bookmarks
Use a bookmark to let a user “jump” from any word or phrase to another place in the same content block. On your Web page, text appears in a different color to indicate the bookmark.
Bookmarks are particularly helpful if your page is very long. For example, if your Web page contains minutes from several meetings, the top of the page could list the meeting dates. You could then assign a hyperlink to each date and a bookmark to each set of minutes. The user sees that a date is in a different color, so clicks it to “jump” (using the bookmark) to the correct minutes.
Creating a Bookmark describes how to set up a bookmark within a file. You can also set up hyperlink to
another Web page. This procedure is described in Using Hyperlinks.
