go back to original page of link

[melissaj61057083]

if I have a link on page 2 that takes me to a 3 page document on page 200 (thru 202)- is there a way to easily get back to page 2  after viewing the 3 page document?  I know I can use the previous view/ Alt+back arrow to go back one page, but it there a way to go back to Page 2 easily after looking at pages 200, 201, and 202?  Thanks

One technique I use is to create that link as one that will open in a New Window.  The idea is that someone will click on your link on page 2, and the document to which the link pointed opens up in a new tab or window, depending on their preference.  If they close their new tab/window, your original page is still sitting right there, allowing them to continue from where they were.

My best,

You could also create a Destination in your initial document and link back to that document, to that Destination.  There is a Destinations Panel you can find on the left side by right-clicking in a blank area below your panel icons and selecting Destinations (if it is not visible).

There's info on how to create & link to Destinations found here:

Previous View should not take you back one page, but to the original page where the link was. However, if you scroll up or down then you might need to press it a couple of times. Another option is to simply add a link to that page back to the original page.
