Text in coloured style loses colour in pdf if it's an anchor

[iandennis]

For example, we have a heading style which is green-coloured, bold, underlined. If you select such a heading then insert anchor, it seems that the heading is still bold and underlined in the pdf, but no longer green. If it's not and anchor, a heading is still green in the pdf.

Ian,

Anchors and formatted paragraphs seem to be unhappy bedfellows, particularly when links are also involved. There are ways to get them to live together but it's all rather fiddly. I've discovered that the easiest way to solve the problem is to always insert the anchor in its own paragraph directly above the point you want to display. This results in a nicely-positioned target area just below the top of the viewer window.

If you want you can also make the anchor paragraph tiny, with a point size of 5 for example, or even just 1 point if you like (but that makes it rather difficult to find in your project later...)
