Add or remove a bookmark (HTML anchor)

1. Open the web page in either Design view or Code view.

2. Select the text to which you want to assign a bookmark.

3. On the Insert menu, click Bookmark.

4. In the Bookmark dialog box, under Bookmark name, type a name for the bookmark (spaces are allowed).

To remove a bookmark

   Note

   You can also remove a bookmark that's selected in your web page by pointing to the <a> tag that appears in the Quick Tag Selector bar at the top of the web page, and then click the arrow next to the <a> tag and select Remove Tag.
