linking words

[Cassius]

Let's say in one of my pages i created a named anchor (let's call it "Web Design"). Now using dreamweaver is it possible to automate the process, that when in a page i will type "web design", it will automatically link to that name anchor, rather than having to do it manually for each instance?

Thank you for any guidance.

Not AFIK - though you could paste it wherever you wanted in the code window.

I may be missing what you are trying to do, though. Forgive me if you already know what follows. In the design window, you can select your desired text. In the Properties section, you will see a text box named "Link", with a clock-like icon beside it. Drag that - and you will see a pointer extending, and you may point it to the file you want in the "Files" section.

Alternatively, you can use the folder icon to browse, or simply enter the URL - particularly if it is an external one - in the text box.

Thanks for your reply. Maybe I did not explain myself correctly ... what i am trying to do is sometimes in forums such as this one there is a feature that, when you type certain words, they do automatically get hyperlinked and when the mouse is hovered on them, they pop up a small box, with a brief description of that word (normally used for advertising) ... now what i am trying to do something along that lines via dreamweaver, but instead of having a pop up box when the mouse is hovered on them, they will automatically link to "named anchor heading".

I hope that i did explain myself correctly.

Thank you for any help.
