Typically they take the form of a bulleted list at the top of the page with hyperlinks to sections further down the page.  In this way clicking on a link at the top of the page will take the visitor directly down to the section of interest, without them having to scroll down to find it.

These instructions apply to CMS made Simple, or any other application that uses the TinyMCE editor. If you are a little unsure of the TinyMCE editor icons refer to this downloadable quick reference chart.

Here are the steps to insert anchors into a page:

• Decide what points you want your visitors to be able to go to when they click on a link at the top of the page. Usually these will be sub-headings at the start of each section.
• Click to the left of each of these sub-headings, click the anchor icon in the editor’s menu and insert a name for the anchor. Make this either the same as the sub-heading or an abbreviation of it. When you click insert you will see a little anchor symbol appear next to the sub-heading. This is only a marker in the editor and will not be visible to the public.
• After you have created the anchors go back to the top of the page and create the bulleted list of hyperlinks. The list items should contain the same text as the sub-headings that you are linking to.
• Working with each list item in turn:
  1. Highlight the text that will form the link.
  2. Click the plain link icon in the editor menu
  3. Click the drop down arrow on the ‘anchor’ field and select the anchor you wish to link to.
  4. Add a title – once again the same as the sub-heading text
  5. Insert.

That’s It!
