"Back to top" bookmark trick for web page

I was disappointed when I learned that you could not put bookmarks on a page
in Publisher as you can in Word. Generally speaking, with Publisher you can't
move a site visitor from one specific point to another specific point on the
same page, but I figured out how you can a least move the visitor from any
point on the page to the top of the same page. Just place a hyperlink at any
point you would like to navigate away from and when the box opens, click
"place in this document" and then click on the name of the page you are
working on. This is a "Back to top of page" hyperlink that is very useful on
pages with lots of text. Maybe this sounds trivial to some, but for a novice
like me, it was very helpful. LNO

LNO,

While you may not be able to put bookmarks on a page in Publisher in exactly
the same way as Word, you can use bookmarks within a page. Read this
article:
http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=79

And along the same lines, again using the Insert HTML code fragment feature,
you can put a link at the bottom or anywhere on a page that takes you to the
top of the page. This is addressed about half way down on the FAQ page:
http://www.publishermvps.com/WebDes...30/Default.aspx

In general I would suggest that you review all the FAQs and other articles
available, even under versions different than yours. You do not design a
website the same way that you design a print document. The web design
material available at the publishermvps.com and davidbartosik.com sites will
help you change your mindset, save time, and avoid many other potential
problems you might encounter in the process of building a website.
