@Adam
I totally understand how you explain it. Same procedure as with NetObject Fusion. Now my question is can you highlight words in article and set a +link? That is what I was getting lost on.

Using the Inline text editor
- Open the text editor and select the word(s) that you wish to link.
- Click the + icon next to the Link control.
- Enter the path to the file in the URL input box. In this example that path would be docs/example-file.pdf.
- Click Apply.

That text was pulled from this article: http://www.coffeecup.com/help/articles/ … o-document

I would recommend you read it over as it will really assist in getting you past this hurdle.

I created a blank page. added a Text Link and in its HREF box I added #main-heading
At bottom of page added Heading1 and in its ID box I added main-heading.

Preview and it did nothing.

Provide a download link for your project file and I will have a look.

@Scott and Adam,

I finally found out it was working all along. Why I did not know this was the LINK and the ANCHOR were in plain sight on the page to begin with. Other software programs dealing with anchor links I am use to made the ANCHOR point to move to TOP view.
Sorry for causing so much confusion.

Here is a real question! How do I set the ANCHOR POINT where it will move the anchor point to TOP instead of moving (if page is long enough) to BOTTOM of page view?

Reverse the steps I provided in my reply. :P Link at bottom Heading at top.

No that is not what I mean, I will try again. Long scrolling page like 3 pages deep. Let's say the first link at top of first page anchor point was in middle of 2nd page. I would prefer the page to scroll up and stop at top of screen instead of stopping with anchor point at bottom of screen.
I now think the problem is I should have broken the extra long paragraph in smaller sections. I am in process of doing that now. I am going to try using a 1p x 1px clear pixel picture for my Anchor Point and see how that works instead of hidden text Heading.
