Anchor links, sometimes called "skip links", let you link to a particular spot within the same page or a different page.

1. Place your cursor where you want the destination anchor to appear and click the **Anchor** button in the toolbar.
1. Enter a unique ID for your anchor and click **OK**. Keep a copy of this ID — you need it in the steps below.
1. If the anchor isn't in the same page as the link, edit the page that will contain the link.
1. Use the **Insert/Edit link** button in the toolbar to create an **Internal** link.
1. Use the page chooser to browse for the page containing your anchor. For an anchor within the same page, this is the current page.
1. In the **Anchor** field, type or paste the exact ID you used for the destination anchor. Cascade appends the anchor ID to the end of the link URL.
