Create a bookmark on a SharePoint Page

There can be instances of long winded content pages in SharePoint such as training information or something similar. It can be difficult to get this looking "nice". Recently, I implemented an FAQ page quite simply. You would just create bookmarks right? Eh, no nice little button on the ribbon for bookmarks are there? So how does SharePoint handle them? See instructions below and happy editing!!! :)

Step 1 – Create your main link

1.       Highlight the text that you want to create as your link

2.       Select Insert from the Editing Menu and choose LinkàFrom Address

3.       The text to display would be the text for your link. In the address, you want to enter the name of your bookmark. For example, if you wanted “Heading 1” to jump to “Section 1” you would enter the information as per below where “#Section 1” is going to be the name of your bookmark that we will define in the next step
 

4.       Click Ok

5.       Scroll to the area that you want to create your bookmark, in this case, Section 1. Highlight the text and click on InsertàLinkàFrom Address

 

6.       The text to display is the text for your bookmark that is displayed to the user. Then you just type in “#” as the address. # defines it as a bookmark or anchor.

7.       Click Ok

8.       Make sure your “Section 1” text is still highlighted, click on Link Tools from the editing menu. IN the bookmark text box, enter in “section 1” as this is the name that you gave to the bookmark in your first heading link.

9.       Click Save

10.   Publish the page
