I've searched but everything is not what I'm looking or way too complicated..

I would like to click on words in a Paragraph:
"In Oskosh there are three regional Bulletin boards, where you can find........."

I would like to be able to click on the underlined I would get a small pop up window with a sentence on each BB and a link to it.

That's all - simple little pop up (but complicated for me)

Of course, put the real URL of your page where I have put "three-regional-bulletin-boards.html"

Yes, that did the trick, Just what I was looking for.

Thanks

PS for the window I am opening. I use the below

<script LANGUAGE="javascript">
<!-- defines size of window -->
function ScreenSize(w,h){
window.resizeTo(w,h);
}
</script>

</head>
<body background="AirClouds.jpg">
<body onload="javascript:void window.ScreenSize(300,300); ">

donatello,

I may have spoken prematurely. Your code worked fine on a "small" test page unaware of a problem I would have on my real "larger" page.

The popup link is a bit down the page and when I click on it it Pops up on top of the page.

Is there anyway of opening it up without moving the user to the top of the page?

Yep.

Include; return false in the event handler.

<a href="#" onClick="window.open('three-regional-bulletin-boards.html','mywindow','width=400,height=710,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menuba r=no,scrollbars=no,copyhistory=no,resizable=yes,left=600,top=50,screenX=600,screenY=50'); return false;" title="There are three regional bulletin boards in Oshkosh">Three Regional Bulletin Boards</a>.
