  how do I put in within page hyperlinks? do I have to switch to text view and know the html syntax? there is a symbol for inserting the hyperlink, but not as far as I can see for inserting anchors.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  This is the guide for creating links in posts and pages: http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/

  This is the general link model:
  <a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>
  This is the visual result – it’s not actually linked.
  Highlighted anchor text here
  Enter the anchor text you want to link to first.
  Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text. (If you don’t highlight the anchor text the chain icon will remain grayed out and not be useable.)
  Next click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link.

  Hi, thanks but I don’t think you quite understood the question. An example of a hyperlink in one of my pages is:

• Does Proportional Representation increase the power of political parties?

(item 1 of an ordered list)
What I meant by the anchor is the place in that page it refers to
<h2>Does Proportional Representation increase the power of political parties?</h2>
My question is, could I have achieved this without knowing the html syntax, i.e. in visual view?
There were 18 items in that ordered list.
Thanks
