Setting Image Properties
| |
Double-click an image and it will be loaded into the "Image Properties" screen. The image appears on the left and has the following toolbar options:-
The mouse pointer toolbar button simply means you can click on the image. The square toolbar icon is for drawing hotspots. The [X] button is for deleting hotspots and the Zoom In and Zoom Out buttons do as you expect.
On the top right of the screen are the File name, Width, Height, File size and time stamp for the image. We will look at the hotspots field a little later.
There are three tabs, "HtmlHelp", "WinHelp" and "HotSpots". We will look at HtmlHelp and WinHelp.
