Google Docs Link – Create Link to Specific Position in Document

google docs

If I have shared a Google Doc with someone so we both can edit it, is there a way I can send that purpose a URL that, when clicked, takes that person to the Google Doc and scrolls down to a particular position? e.g.:

http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AWJy3jZ323434343TBndDlqM3Y3dg&hl=en&target=Section%203

this example would search for and find the text "Section 3"

Is there a way to do this kind of deep linking into Google Docs?

Create a bookmark (insert -> bookmark). Then you can add #name_of_bookmark to the end of the url.

eg: http://docs.google.com/document/d/15xm3Bx4Elnjbg0VNY#name_of_bookmark
