Hello!

Is it possible to link a hyperlink with a bookmark which was created in master page? If it is I can't see it when I'm trying to insert a hyperlink.

So I tried. Everything is OK when I add a link to # in each topic. But I need to automate a process so I use a Master page. And this method doesn't suit for a project which consist of multiple topics.

Well, this method works with the project that was created in RoboHelp but not with the project that I import from FrameMaker

All I can suggest for FM to RH content is to maybe run it all through a FM template that places the hyperlink "Back to Top" on each topic when it's paginated. Or you other approach is to create an Extendscript or some sort of post-generation search & replace that puts the coding into each topic's HTML coding.

Hi Alice

My sincere apologies as "life" has gotten a bit in the way of my forum participation. So I offer my apologies in the delay of replying to you.

In re-thinking this a bit, the question of why you would want a bookmark in a master page to begin with, comes to mind. As bookmarks typically are used to allow linking to a defined spot on the page, my thought is that perhaps you want a "back to top" that could be used? And if so, you are attempting to insert a bookmark named "top" to each of the topics easily?

If my hunch is correct, you likely are unaware that you even need a bookmark in order to accomplish the goal. If you are trying to provide a link your users may click to reach the top of the page, simply link them to a pound/hash symbol ( # ) and you have accomplished your goal.

Otherwise, please explain to me what the behavior is you are trying to create so that I might perform some testing to see if it's possible to achieve and how I might explain it.

Cheers... Rick

Yes, I wank a "back to top". Sorry for my bad explanation.

The idea you suggested is good. It suits if a project consist of 5 topics for example. But if there are ten and more topics in a project to insert a bookmark to each will be difficult.

I can't believe that it's not impossible to solve this problem only by using master pages.

Hi there

Where exactly did you insert the bookmark in the Master Page? Can you give us more details?

Certainly a bookmark is a bookmark and generally speaking you should be able to link to it from wherever you normally link. But we need more details in order to accurately answer your question.

Cheers... Rick

I insert it outside the body.

When I'm trying to link a hyperlink with a bookmark in a topic I can see the list of the bookmarks. I don't see a bookmark which was created in the Master page.

It seems that I have solved my problem. I linked a hyperlink with a bookmark in HTML code. But in a topic I can do this using control Insert Hyperlink/Popup in a Menu. Is it possible to do this way in the Master page?

My method doesn't suits to the Project. My link works only if there is one topic.
