I am working with WRITER / WEB (HTML) files with the new version 6.4.0.3 (x64).
I define the bookmark using the “Insert bookmark” button.
I insert the link using the “Insert hyperlink” button.
IN EDIT MODE. Using the CTRL + CLICK keys everything works: the control goes to the bookmark defined before.
In “Preview in web browser” by clicking on the link NOTHING HAPPENS, the link DOES NOT work.

The first thing is to insert a <a name=bookmark> in the HTML document. From a few experiments, it looks it is better to have a “spot location” (no text simultaneously selected).
When inserting a hyperlink, you must choose Document and click on the “Target in Document” button to select the bookmark.
I create a “lorem ipsum” page with more than one screenful of text and added a link at the bottom to the top of document. File>Preview in Web Browser does not scroll to top of page. However, when saved as an HTML document and opened in a browser, scroll occurs after a click on the link.
In general, previews have limitation compared to their “live” equivalent. The preview is only there to check static (formatting) layout, not dynamic aspects like links.

Thanks for the reply, I followed what was recommended, but the problem is not solved. I “published” the web page and used Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Opera. The result does not change: the link to the bookmark works in “edit mode” but not within the browser. I point out that this problem does not exist in version 6.2.8 that I used previously.
