New to roll20, but really impressed so far, but I have a problem--I'm working on a character sheet and noticed the Link capability; the functionality I'm interested in is the Anchor link (assuming it can be used as an internal anchor link for the character sheet).  I have no idea how to get that to work, though. So...anyone have any idea how to set up an anchor link within a character sheet? Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere, I searched and couldn't find anything. Thanks for your help, Rich

In word and other programs, anchor was for putting images in a specific location in a word sheet or such. Maybe that is what it does here. You type up a description, anchor an image in the sentence then continues the sentence. I'm guessing since I never used it here.
If I recall correctly an anchor link is like a position on a particular page it's not just going to bring you to a particular page, but a particular paragraph on that page (or the same page). I think that's what the OP is trying to accomplish. So you could have your anchor link skip past the ability scores on the sheet and drop you down below in the derived statistics section for example.

Perry T is exactly right.  I'd like to have a "table of contents" of sorts at the top of the character sheet and be able to skip to different sections of the character sheet by clicking one of those links at the top. Rich
