Hello nutka,

Thank you for reporting this bug. I can confirm experiencing the same issue 
With the "Columns" link not working, but the "Worksheet" link seems to work for me. For testing I used Chrome and Edge browsers on Windows 10.

The source file:
/help/source/text/sbasic/shared/vba_objects.xhp


• for the "Columns" link
<link href="text/sbasic/shared/vba_objects.xhp#xlsColumns">Columns</link><br/>

The entry for Columns has <section id="xlsCell"> 


• for the "Worksheet" link
<link href="text/sbasic/shared/vba_objects.xhp#xlsWoksheet">Worksheet</link>

"xlsWoksheet" looks like a typo.
