Part 1: Creating a Named Anchor

To create a Named Anchor in Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 follow the steps below.

• Begin by inserting a table at the top of the document. The content of the table will serve as the links to the Named Anchors within the document.

1. Place cursor at desired location

2. Choose Insert, Table

3. Enter 1 in rows box, __ in columns box (the number of columns will depend on the number of sections in your document that will receive a Named Anchor), for this tutorial our document is going to have 8 sections.

4. Click OK

5. Insert the section names of your document in the cells of the table

6. Starting in the first cell enter:
   • Overview
   • Writers & Developers
   • Audiences & Users
   • Format & Organization
   • Level of Formality
   • Visual Cues & Images
   • Range of Variation
   • Forecast

• Now you are going to insert Named Anchors after each heading in the document (one Named Anchor for each section of the document).

1. Place the cursor after the first heading in the document, for this tutorial place the cursor after Overview

2. Choose Insert, Named Anchor

3. In the Anchor Name Box enter overview

   • enter name without any spaces or symbols, just letters, i.e. writersdevelopers

4. An anchor symbol will appear next to the heading

5. Also notice that the Property Inspector box at the bottom of the page is now displaying an anchor and a name box with the name of your first Named Anchor.

6. Repeat steps 1 & 2 for the remainder of the sections

• Save your changes after inserting all of the Named Anchors needed (select File, Save).
