In this example, a table of contents was created with three anchors to jump to, with the anchors allowing you to jump back to the table of contents. Article 3 is much farther down the text content, so it is not seen in the screenshot below.

**Note:** Anchors work within the same text content area, and not across text content.

*The steps are performed in a specific order.*

**1)** Double-click the text content area to go into edit mode.

**2)** Highlight the text and click the Link icon to add an anchor.

****5)****If this is just an anchor to jump back to, in this example, Table of Contents, then go to the Advanced tab and add a Name for this anchor.

Lastly, add the links (in this example, the table of contents "Article" text) to jump to the anchors.

**7)** Perform steps 3-4, then on the Link Info tab Select an Anchor; there is no need to add a Name on the Advanced tab in this instance.
