    Default Using text anchors

    I'm at it again! Just don't know how to do it with DP X9....

    I have a couple of pages that contain a LOT of information. Rather than turn it into several targeted pages I want to just use text anchors to jump quickly to different sections and return to the top of the page just as easily. I can do this if I'm working with HTML but I'm just not getting it with DP!

    How do I accomplish this with Xara?

    Thanks!

    Highlight a line of text where you wish to add an anchor. Right click with the Text Tool and select Names...

    Give the anchor a name.

    Use the Link to Anchor link method.

    There usually is. We just forget what it is.

    Not sure why this is not working. I select a line of text, right click and give it a name. I then open the navbar settings and choose link to anchor, select the name I have created and click ok.
    What am I missing?

    How far away is the Link object to the Anchor point?

    Hi Acorn

    I've got it going but had to create a new object for the anchor point. I'm using a template so must be something to do with the way the text is embedded in the site.
    Thanks for the reply

    Welcome. Out of sheer curiosity. What template and approximately which text block?
