kuler Making Text Anchors the Fast Way by: David Blatner | September 2, 2009 Here’s a trick involving making text anchors in InDesign that Anne-Marie pointed out to me in a recent podcast. Like so many great tips, it’s painfully simple (in the way of, “how could I have overlooked that?!”) and makes life much better once you know it. As I’ve pointed out in various places (including my 10 things you need to know about Interactive PDF title at lynda.com), you cannot make a navigation button that takes you to directly to a specific page… like “go to page 13.” Unfortunately, the path to making a text anchor is not a happy carefree one. So, imagine my surprise when Anne-Marie started talking about the little anchor icon in the Bookmarks panel. Once you have the anchor in the Bookmarks panel, you can point to it from the Buttons panel: I love the speed and ease of this method of creating text anchors.
