Anchors
Use anchors to link to specific areas of a page.
To create an anchor:

To link to an anchor on the same page:
- Highlight the text to be used as the link
- Click the Hyperlink button on the RTE toolbar
- Click the WWW tab in the pop up window
- Enter a pound sign (#) followed by the name of the anchor
To link to an anchor on a different page:
- Highlight the text to be used as the link
- Click the Hyperlink button on the RTE toolbar
- Click the Site Map tab in the pop up window
- Select the destination page by clicking the page name
- Click the Source button on the RTE toolbar
- Edit the link you just created by adding a pound sign and the anchor name to the end of the URL (e.g. #anchor_name)
