Bookmarks to a different page?

I can't seem to be able to set up a bookmark that opens another page and
directs the reader to a specific destination in the new page. Anyone know
how to do this? I know how to do "same page" bookmarks.

You would create a bookmark the same way and create a hyperlink to it by
selecting the file then bookmark. Your installed bookmarks will be
displayed, select one.

first make the bookmark on the page

eg #bookmark on thispage.htm

then on page2.htm create the hyperlink

<a href="thispage.htm#bookmark.htm">This will link to another page and jump
to the bookmark "Bookmark" on that page.</a>

when you go to the hyperlink box, I believe that when you select a file to
link to , you can also click the "bookmarks" button and it will list the
actual bookmarks for the page you just linked, rather than just the current
page. otherwise see my other post about doing this manually in code view.

Thanks for the information. I was doing just that but it wasn't working.
Then I found out that you have to SAVE the bookmark before it can be found by
the new page. No one thought of this, I found it by mistake because I had to
do something else, after leaving the page I had to save, when I came back to
finish it, I could do it.

FP 03 does not automatically save a page when it's open and one is working
directly with the server.

Thanks anyway.
