As a test, I've created a file in MS Word 2003 with an index so as to get folk to get to the various sections with a click.
This saves as HTML OK and even displays correctly when loading into Mail List King (new email, file open, preview) but then will not load
Is there a better way to get this index effect? Some HTML coding perhaps?
TIA (thanks in advance) all |

Oh, so, so very wrong 
If you want to code the raw HTML then at the very least you need to look at a book or visit:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp
Regarding your points:
1. MLK can do this for you by clicking the "Link" button on the toolbar and specifying your link name preceded by a hash/pound character, i.e. your link would be:
#Introductory Certificate in Fundraising
Which, for the record, will result in the following HTML:
<a href="#Introductory Certificate in Fundraising">Introductory Certificate in Fundraising</a>
2. Is correct and is the part you need to manually insert, so in other words the following is the only part you need to manually insert into the HTML:
<a name="Introductory Certificate in Fundraising "></a>

Hi again
Trying this and is it not working - HTML training called for methinks....
So got as far as ....
1) in index ....
<#Introductory Certificate in Fundraising>Introductory Certificate in Fundraising
But after editing HTML and saving this turns into;
<#Introductory Certificate in Fundraising>
2) target ....
<a name="Introductory Certificate in Fundraising "></a>Introductory Certificate in Fundraising
Seems OK
Is the syntax wrong in 1) ?
Thanks again |

Hi Andy
That is the method for inserting a target (1).
Merry Christmas to you too!

Hi
Yes, but specifically the HTML code for the target should be:
<a name="contact_us"></a>

We'll add an "Insert Target" function to a coming update (email me if you are a Business edition user).

Hi
To create an index you need to add "targets" in your document (i.e. destinations for your hyperlinks).
Then you link to these targets with a hash/pound prefix. For example if you have a section with the title, "Contact Us", you would put a target named, say "contact_us" before the title. Then in your index insert a hyperlink with the destination #contact_us.
All quite simple, with one complicating factor  ...
MLK does not include an "Insert Target" function as they are not often used in emails. So you need to either use an HTML editor (or even Word) to create your document and then load it in MLK.
