Question

How to Add/create/insert Text Anchor

I am laying out an epub, and at the end of each chapter I want to type the words Study Guide and have a hyperlink or bookmark of some sort on that, to let the reader jump to that chapter's study guide at the end of the book. Sounds simple, but it isn't.

 

All the instructions I could find (voted 'correct') are out of date. The help files are even more out of date, and will tell you to link to a Text Anchor, but if you can't create a Text Anchor, you're stuck with [None] in the drop-down. And by the way, wouldn't you think the Hyperlink panel would be under Type-Hyperlinks & Cross References? No. It's under Window-Interactive. I call No Fairs. When I finally found it, it was as confused as I was.

 

Please help but please don't ask me to code.

Yes, that's exactly what I would think!

Sometimes Adobe puts the same command in more than one place. Hyperlinks are also in Interactive from the Window menu.
