  Aloha otto1357, Links like these are called page jumps. You will need to switch to the text editor and write just a little code, but it won’t be much. Here’s how to create a page jump:

  And here is how to link to a page jump on another page:

  Both of those links above are page jumps :)

  I hope that helps!

  Thanks for the reply.

  I figured it out.
  1. Go to the page where you want to link to.
  2. go to HTML edit view and find the text you want to jump to.
  3. In front of the text put id=”blabla”.

  4. go to the page where you want to jump from. Using the visual text link connect to the page where the text to jump to is (where the id=”blabla” is).
  5. at the end of the link text add /#blabla
  Note blabla is any text but must both id target and anchor # must be the same. Convention is that the link text is used as anchor and target (to save confusion ?)
