    Configure a new anchor using the New Anchor dialog box.

Note: To create an “empty” anchor, deselect everything and then click the New Anchor button in the Hyperlinks palette. Use this method to create hyperlinks that point to anchors in parts of the layout that you don’t have access to or that you haven’t created yet.
