"Back to top" bookmark trick for web page

[LNO]

I was disappointed when I learned that you could not put bookmarks on a page
in Publisher as you can in Word. Generally speaking, with Publisher you can't
move a site visitor from one specific point to another specific point on the
same page, but I figured out how you can a least move the visitor from any
point on the page to the top of the same page. Just place a hyperlink at any
point you would like to navigate away from and when the box opens, click
"place in this document" and then click on the name of the page you are
working on. This is a "Back to top of page" hyperlink that is very useful on
pages with lots of text. Maybe this sounds trivial to some, but for a novice
like me, it was very helpful. LNO

LNO,

While you may not be able to put bookmarks on a page in Publisher in exactly
the same way as Word, you can use bookmarks within a page. Read this
article:
http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=79

And along the same lines, again using the Insert HTML code fragment feature,
you can put a link at the bottom or anywhere on a page that takes you to the
top of the page. This is addressed about half way down on the FAQ page:
http://www.publishermvps.com/WebDesign/FAQ/tabid/30/Default.aspx

In general I would suggest that you review all the FAQs and other articles
available, even under versions different than yours. You do not design a
website the same way that you design a print document. The web design
material available at the publishermvps.com and davidbartosik.com sites will
help you change your mindset, save time, and avoid many other potential
problems you might encounter in the process of building a website.

I have read the entire article and don't find the Trick anywhere.

Are you looking for a go to the top of the page button to place on your web
site?
If so, put the following code in as an html fragment and place it on the
page where you want the button to show.

<input type="button" value="Go to the TOP of the page" title="Top"
onclick="location.href='#top'"/>

Hi Lynn,

If you just want to put a 'top' button on your web page, try this code:

<A HREF="#TOP">Top of Page >></A>ss


You can copy it from here i.e. >Edit>Copy and then insert it into the Code
fragment box. >Insert>HTML Code Fragment. The box that appears on your page
can be made as small as you want it and placed where you want it, just make
sure it doesn't overlap anything else on your page. I always place my 'top'
button on the right hand side of the page because I think it's easier for
viewers to click on, but it's a matter of personal choice. I also found an
upward pointing arrow that I liked and placed it just above the box, but
again that's your choice.
