I noticed on a SharePoint wiki library that the bookmark functionality was disabled. When I hovered over the textbox for the control it provided the following prompt:
“This control is currently disabled. You might not have the right permission level to use this, you might need to select an object or item, or the control might not work in this context.”

ReplyDeletebut I can't figure out how to make links in the navigation or quicklaunch go right to the bookmark on the page.

thank you! This was driving me crazy, but was the problem. activated publishing and all is working well now.
