Some browsers don't handle a blank between the anchor tags,
especially if the anchor is within a table (and especially
if your table has errors in the code).
You can try
<a name="fred"> </a>
or
<a name="fred">First word of paragraph</a>
or even
<a name="fred><font color="#ffffff">.</font></a>
where the period is the same color as your background.
Test for table errors by putting XXX between the anchor commands,
and make your table border=1, and see where the XXX appears on the page.
If the anchor is within a table, you may have to move it
above the table, or break the table in two, and put the anchor
between the tables.
Hope this helps,
jimmy
