SUMMARY
This article describes how to create hyperlinks to bookmarks in local documents.

NOTE: Any jumps to bookmarks in local documents will not work unless the "destination" document (which contains the bookmark) is closed. Whenever you want to test a hyperlink to another document's bookmarks, be sure the bookmarked document is closed.

MORE INFORMATION
To create hyperlinks to specific sections in other local documents, you first need to set up the other document.

Use these steps to create bookmarks in the first document (here called FIRST.HTM):

 Highlight the text that you want to link to. From the Edit menu, choose Bookmark. Type a unique name for the bookmark and choose OK. From the View menu, choose Web Browse. Save and close the first document.

Next, create the document (here called SECOND.HTM) that contains the hyperlink to the desired section in the first document. In the second document, use these steps to create the links:
