Linking to bookmarks in separate topic

Post by Melodie »

Apologies if this is simple and I just missed it but is there a way to link to a section in another topic (in this case, dropdown text header)

I have read through the forum and not really found a simple solution for this. It seems Flare only allows me to link to another Topic, not content within that topic, is this correct? (This seems like a weird limitation if so?) I thought I might be able to link to the bookmark somehow?

Example - I have Topic A and Topic B - Topic B contains a lot of information in Dropdowns. Inside Topic A I want to provide a link to the dropdown text (header if possible) in Topic B

Any help/thoughts gratefully received.

You can link to a bookmark. You select the topic, then in the dialog box there's a little icon that lets you select the bookmark you want to link to. You have to manually add the bookmark to the correct place in the destination topic first.

Also look at cross-references, which is another type of hyperlink which might work for you. Again, you need to add the bookmark to the destination topic, then use the little icon to select the bookmark once you've chosen the correct file in the dialog box.

Thank you, its working perfectly :) I put in a call to Tech Support who showed me the little Bookmark button. I do feel a bit of a dummy for not realising but will leave this post in case it helps anyone else
