Anchors as Hyperlinks will not work 1.9.0 Publisher

[Steve "Ed"]

Created a document that will become a pdf.

Half of it in 1.8.4 - all anchor hyperlinks find the right pages.

Upgraded to 1.9.0 Publisher and hopeless.

I create an Anchor, add it to a contents line and it takes you to the wrong page.

Checking the Hyperlink on my contents page and the Anchor I chose has changed to another in the Anchor list.

Can reproduce this error - help as Anchors do nor work for me in 1.9.0

URLs and Page Hyperlinks do work as expected.

Any suggestions welcome.

Happy to video the effect too.

Have posted this to Feedback as well.

I recall seeing something about that during the beta, but I don't recall if there was a solution.

However, you don't need to do anything with TOC entries. They're automatically hyperlinks to the right location.

Thanks for that Walt but the way I do things is as mentioned:

I create a page, create an Anchor and then go back to my "contents" page and create the hyperlink connection - except it now (1.9.0) changes to a different page.

See if I get anything back from the Feedback entry.

That seems like it shoud work.

But that seems like a complex process. Why not just use the TOC function that already exists, and use a paragraph style for some text on the page, and include that style in the TOC? No need for manual creation of anchors.

Hello again,

This is a camera club weekly blog I suppose, with images, articles and news off the web.

Not a professional thing with consistent heading text styles and the like - probably make a pro go giddy.

That said, given the weirdness I am experiencing, I have two options.

Roll back to 1.8.6 or learn about/adapt the blog to TOCs.

Also wait to see if its picked up at the next version.

Either way, thank you for the quick reply.

Help Walt,

Update for your "background" knowledge.

As mentioned all worked as expected in 1.8.6.

Not so in 1.9.0 UNTIL I deleted a couple of pages that I had DUPLICATED including the original pages anchor.

So I had 3 pages all the same with the same anchor.

I deleted the two spare pages as an experiment and bingo, add anchor, add this as a hyperlink to my "contacts" page and the correct page is now found every time.

Why, no idea except some sort of programme confusion that did not exist in 1.8.6

I am looking at videos for TOC but am having some trouble that I will sort to get it to work so I can use TOC.

Thanks again,

Steve

You're welcome, and thanks for the update

Hello Walt,

Something for your "background"  knowledge.

Out of the blue the above weirdness returned - set and anchor - and when used, the wrong page rolls up.

I tried the following and to date no errors or weirdness: on a given page either clicked on a text box or an object and created a PAGE link.

When that hyperlink was added to my contents page, the correct page was located.

So Anchors questionable but Pages work.

Anything changes I will drop you a line.

Thanks for the advice etc.
