Hello,
1) Can you tell me how to create a link to an exact location on a different page?
I know to create link to another page, but not to exact paragraph/location on that page.

Example, on the Fitness Wealth page,
https://www.junbugg.net/junbugg-fitness-wealth, I want to create a hot link from this link, “View: FITNESS SOLUTIONS - Warren Buffett: Mental Health & Wealth,” that goes to this location, http://prntscr.com/pydd6k, on this page, https://www.junbugg.net/premium-fitness-solutions.

2) How do I create a hot link to a location that’s on the same page, for example, four paragraphs down?

Thanks,
Louis

Both of these links are created using an Anchor, which is a marker on the page that a corresponding link points to.

Your second request is easiest to do, so we'll start with that.

1. In the article, scroll down to the paragraph that you want to link to, click at the beginning of the paragraph, and the click the Anchor button. In the Anchor dialog, type in a unique name for the anchor, and click Insert. For example:

2. Now that the anchor is created, scroll back up in the article to the place you want to add the corresponding link. This will be the link the viewer will click to be directed to the anchor. Select some text for the link, and click the Insert Link button. In the Link dialog, select the name of the anchor you created from the Article Anchors list, then click the Insert button.

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.

To create a link to an anchor in a different article:

1. First create the Anchor in that article, in the same way as you did in step 1 above.

2. Then, in the article that is to contain the corresponding link, select some text and open the Link dialog.

3. Now, instead of selecting the anchor from the Article Anchors list (this list only displays anchors in the same article as the link), find the article using the link tree display in the Link dialog, then select the correct anchor listed underneath the name of the article, and click the Insert button, eg:

Thank you.
I asked another question Sun and Mon, about spacing on mobile but it hasn't been answered yet.
