How do I format a hyperling to return to the top of the current page.

Create your link, then for the value of the hyperlink enter:

#top

Create a Bookmark.

1. Type TOP and the top of the page
Highlight the word and choose Insert, Bookmark. Call it Top
2. Go down your page where you want the link (ex: Return to Top)
3. Highlight that link and choose Insert, Hyperlink. Pick the page you're
open and click Bookmark.
4. Choose the bookmark you created.

That's it.

You don't need to create a actual bookmark

Because the top of the page is the default

Assuming you want to go to the very top. many sites that use go to top are
actually taking you to a point somewhere under the header but at the top of
the content. In that case you'd need a bookmark.

Actually "Top" is not a default

You can name it anything that is not a real bookmark in the page
- the default is the top of the page when the bookmark is not found in a page

So a link at the end of the page to "Bottom"
- will still take you to the top of the page
(if that bookmark name is not found in the page)

In IE6, FF1.0, NS7.0 if you set the hyperlink to either of the following, without first creating an
actual bookmark you will see the following happen:

#top = it will take you to the top of the page
(Top of Page)

#bottom = it will take you to the bottom of the page
(Bottom of Page)

Yes, but it is dangerous to use because it is not in any
recommendations, W3C or other.
That means that it works in some Browsers today but may not do so in
others or in future versions.
I would test in Opera, IE7 and FF2.
A named anchor always works or an ID (newer browsers only).
