Hi All,
I was wondering if it was possible to set an Anchor on a Master Page so that on the subsequent pages all you would have to do was link to it instead of having to create them individually.
On the Master Page the Anchor option on the Edit Menu is greyed out.
Thanks

Yes this is a standard operation.
Are you actually trying to attach the anchor to something?
Create a small 1px x 1px graphic box at the top of your page (if that is where you want it) and with it selected apply the anchor. Edit>Anchor
You can also attach to selected text.

Hi David,
Thanks for the info, yes, it worked.
I was trying to attach the anchor to an html box with a non breaking
space, on the master page but the Anchor menu item was greyed out.
Going to a normal page lets you do this with no problem.
Is this a feature or a bug?
Thanks again.
Steve.

Hi Steve
Glad we got you working - as to whether that is a bug or a feature is beyond me.
With being able to create anchors from graphics or text should cover every available scenario. Remember you could anchor to text that was the same colour as your background as well.

Of course, this is a pretty risky thing to do if you want to rank
anywhere in Google. I mean, having text the same colour as your page
background, not making text anchors.

Can Google tell/differentiate if a page/site has a few or lots of text the same as a background colour.
What I am trying to say is - if you only had one word or even 1 letter the background colour would Google penalise you?

It is very hard to make absolute pronouncements on how Google handles
ranking the pages it indexes. But I would try to stay away from any
process that requires invisible text, as that is a known red flag
process. It may be that tiny amounts of ‘invisible text’ won’t
trigger this, or will only cause tiny amounts of penalising. Or any
amount at all may get the page and/or site blacklisted, which can be
a hell of a thing to overcome.
As for the question about why anchors couldn’t be set on master
pages, that’s probably just because they’re very page-specific
things… and master pages are not actual nameable pages at all.
Of course, I don’t think that Freeway should be so page-specific
about setting anchors. For an anchor link that is on the same page as
the anchor itself, I would rather the final generated code contained
just the anchor reference, not the page name as well. This would help
matters in a number of areas.
