Big Page of hints and tips how do i link on the same page

Getting a bit stuck and hoping for a bit of help. I have created a long list of hints and tips in word with a bullet list at the top and the para headings and paras down the page. I have two questions:

Firstly do i use EZ pages for this. I have done some EZ pages before but without links or do i have to generate a php page.

Secondly how do I link from the bullet list to the para headings on the page. i have an idea but not to sure how to implement it ie. give the bullet a link and the para heading a link but not to sure how

any help would be gratefully received as i am still messing around with it and pulling out what little hair i have left

Firstly, you'll have to use a proper HTML editor to create your list. MS Word is completely inappropriate as it formats your work in a way that cannot be used on websites.

There are lots of shareware html editors around, so if you don't want to spend too much money, look for one of these editors.

You can use the HTMLArea editor that is bundled with ZC, and it has sufficient capacity to achieve what you are after. You "enable" HTMLArea by going to ADMIN>>>CONFIGURATION>>>MY STORE>>>HTML EDITORS.

Secondly, the content of your EZ-page is ALL standard HTML, so you don't need to worry about php. If you create correct HTML code ecternally in another html editor, it can be "copied and pasted into" an ez-page quickly and simply, and will function according to the HTML tags and commands you've embedded in it.

The feature of linking from a bullet list to a paragraph down the page is called "Bookmark and Anchor" hyperlinks, and again, these are standard HTML tags and commands. (If you know HTML, you could even "write" these pages in Notepad).

After you have created appropriate HTML content (let's say you've done this in an external editor), you will "copy" the content (only the bits between the <body> and </body> tags), and "paste" it into the ez-pages editing screen (after toggling to view the source code).

Keep well away from MS products when editing or creating html, or anything to do with your ZC files. MS is not designed for this purpose and will wreak havoc with your site.

(To save a bit of time, you could convert your current MS Word list into a PLAIN TEXT format, by "copy and paste" into Notepad, then "copy and paste" that into your html editor, being sure to REMOVE ALL FORMATTING before you "paste" it into the HTML editor.... In other words, use PLAIN TEXT to start with, then format - eg, add bullet list - it with the HTML editor.)

Thanks for the reply fairestcape.:yes:

Managed to sort it out possibly the long way around things but achived the aim.:clap:

I meant to put wordpad for plain text (cut and pasted into notepad later).:oops:

I used the EZ pages to create what i was after using Chapter and TOC but disabled the TOC in admin EZ pages settings this then allowed me on my main EZ page to put the bulleted list in my own format:D instead of the TOC which was over to the left of the page.:yuck:

I then created a EZ pages relating to the chapter and a TOC value for each heading then used the IP address in the address bar to navigate from the main EZ page.

Works a dream. (so Far):bigups:

Now for the next bit of reasearch Breadcrumb links as well as previous and next as in the breadcrumb it has the first EZ page any one got any ideas:frusty:
