An anchor is a placeholder in your content that allows you to link to a specific point in your document. Anchors are useful when you have content with a lot of text. Typically, a link takes you to the top of the linked page but when the user clicks on the link to an anchor, they are taken to the specific point where the anchor is set. 

In a web page, you can link to an anchor by anchor name. This is an anchor you create and name. This anchor can be placed by selecting the anchor name in the By Anchor Name list on the Link Info tab.

Note: Only anchors that have been previously set appear for selection in the Link Info dialog box.

1. Select the location point or text where you want to place the anchor.
    
2. From the Web Page Editor - Insert toolbar, click  Anchor.
    
3. Type the name of the anchor in the Anchor Name field.
    
4. Click OK.
