Creating a Link Target

To allow yourself and other authors to link to specific locations within your HTML document, you must identify each location of interest as a target and create a unique target name for it.

To identify a location as a target, follow these steps:

  1. Select the object that will be a target.

  2. Choose Tools > Target (Anchor)... or click the Create/change target button in the Links and Targets palette

  3. In the Create Link Target window, enter a unique, meaningful name for the target in the Target Name field.

  4. Create the target, or cancel your request.

Now you and other authors can create links to your target; see Creating a Link to a Specific Location within an HTML Document. If you need to edit the target, select the entire item you marked as a target, then choose Tools > Target(Anchor)...

Tip

You must select text to anchor your target to; you cannot create a "free" target.
