This may be a very simple question, and one I might already have the answer to, but I need to ask. I am trying to link to an anchor on another page from the one where the link will be in VSD, and the question is, where do I get the link or code for the other page? Can I preview the page I wanted to end up on and use that as the destination page link?
Thanks for the help.

Set your link on the page like this
The anchor that you just linked to looks like this. Put this in an HTML box. Body HTML
http://mysite.com/mypage.html#anchor1

<a name="anchor" id="anchor1"></a>
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Thanks for the quick reply. That works fine. I guess my confusion came because I am doing this in VSD and linking to pages not yet published.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

I would use an HTML box and use this.
Header HTML
Body HTML
Now if you want to link another anchor to another anchor you would set your links like this.
Header HTML
<style type="text/css">
<!--
a.mylink { color:#0000FF; }
a:visited.mylink { color:#800080; }
a:hover.mylink { color:#008000; }
a:active.mylink { color:#FF0000; }
.mylink{
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 20px;
}
-->
</style>
<!--
a.mylink { color:#0000FF; }
a:visited.mylink { color:#800080; }
a:hover.mylink { color:#008000; }
a:active.mylink { color:#FF0000; }
.mylink{
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 20px;
}
-->
</style>
Body HTML
<a href="#jsmith" class="mylink">Click here to learn about John Smith.</a>
Now if you want to link another anchor to another anchor you would set your links like this.
<a href="#anchor1" class="mylink">link text 1</a>
<a href="#anchor2" name="anchor" id="anchor1" class="mylink">link text 2</a>
<a href="#anchor3" name="anchor" id="anchor2" class="mylink">Link text 3</a>
<a name="anchor" id="anchor3" class="mylink">Link text 4</a>
<a href="#anchor2" name="anchor" id="anchor1" class="mylink">link text 2</a>
<a href="#anchor3" name="anchor" id="anchor2" class="mylink">Link text 3</a>
<a name="anchor" id="anchor3" class="mylink">Link text 4</a>
