Using the html method for page anchors
Using the brilliant instructions I found on here, I have made page anchors (this is what the customer wanted!) on this page http://www.test.nannerchgolf.com/ConditionsTreated.html but this is the limit of my ability!
I am aware that I still have some problems, i.e. the 'top of page' is too far down, how do I decrease the gap between it and the next paragraph?
Also, how do I change the font and colour? I want the font to be Verdana, and the text to be brown!
Please help?

I got some help with something similar, have a look through this thread:

Thanks, I changed everything to Verdana, I don't think the customer will even notice! 
I tried the above, but the code came out on the page, so I put it in the header html, and it came out at the top of the page! I understand the bit about the ccs code, but when using VSD, where do I put it?

Hi all of you,
I already made a tutorial on using anchors in VSD with the HTML tool some time ago in another thread (forgot where, this question pops up everywhere) and made an example website where you can download the VSD design. By looking at this design you can easily find out how this is done.
You can watch some other easy javascript tricks too.

Thank you, John! I remember seeing that, but didn't know where it was - will bookmark it now 
Janet - In the thread I listed above, The code went into an html box on the page (it was a list of salon services and I wanted a scrolling menu with a link back to the top of it). The site's not live yet, so nothing to see, but I typed everything in the HTML Editor then copy/pasted into the html box on the web page. Now If I need to make changes to the salon menu, I can type right into that code (Object > Edit HTML) and the new text will have the same font style, color, etc.

Can anyone tell me how to change what I already have?

I'm not unhappy with what I've got, I could just do with a hint on how to get the 'top of page' piece a bit nearer the paragraph above, and how to make it a brown verdana font?

Hi Janet,
The place of the top of page anchor, so the HTML box itself with it's code, should be at the top of the page :-). Is that your problem? To make the text a brown verdana font, give it the right attributes, i.e. face="verdana" color="brown" after the font statement. An example:
<font face="verdana" size="3" color="brown">Top of page</font> If you put this in a HTML box the 'top of page' text is displayed with these attributes. Of course the anchor code should be there too!
If you want an exact color you should replace 'brown' with some hex number, like #000000 (which is black). You can find numerous tools on the web to find out which hex number shows which color.
Although the font tag is depreciated, it still works, and is easy enough to use for this purpose.
Look at my example VSD web design to find out how this works (download the *.vnu file)
Success, John
