How To: Create Anchor Links in Rich Text

Before you start: it is recommended that you complete all content edits (including the text that will be the text for all of your links on the page) before you insert any anchor tags.

Steps:

1. Click "Edit" on your richtext component.
   
2. Choose a string of text for each "Anchor Name" point you want to link to on the page. This text string should not contain spaces or strange characters. It might help to write these down if you have a complicated page with a lot of these.
   
   Note: Repeat these next two steps for every anchor link you want to include on your page. You can complete the steps in any order.
   
   Note 2: The Anchor Link, and Anchor Name do not have to be in the same rich text component, as long as they are on the same page.
   
   
3. Creating the "Anchor link":
   1. Find the place on the page you want to link FROM.
   2. Select the text you want to turn into a link.
   3. Click the "Insert Web Link" Richtext button. (You should now see the "Insert/Modify Link" popup.)
   4. Type #anchortext into the "URL" input field. (Where "anchortext" is the textual string you chose for the name you want to link to.)
      Note: Don't forget the "#" sign before the string.
   5. Click "OK" in the popup.
   6. Repeat steps 1-6 if want to create another link to the same anchor point.
4. Creating the "Anchor Name" point on the page.
5. Save the page and preview to try out your new links.
   1. Put your cursor in the richtext component where you want to create the anchor point. (Usually this is at the beginning of whatever line of text you want to appear at the very top of the page when the anchor link is clicked.)
   2. Click the "Insert Anchor" richtext button. (The "Insert Anchor" popup should display.)
   3. Put your textual string ("anchortext" from the previous example) into the Anchor name text box.
   4. Click "OK".
   5. Save the page and preview to try out your new links.
