Troubleshoot graphics

I can't crop part of a photo gallery graphic.

Microsoft FrontPage can only crop photo gallery images down to a certain size. If you find that your graphic is too large, you can insert it onto a blank page, crop it like you would any other graphic, and then resave it and insert it again into your photo gallery.

When I double-click a graphic to edit it in another editor, "No picture editor is configured" appears.

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the Configure Editors tab.
3. Click Add.
4. In the File type box, type the extension of the type of file you want to add.

   For example, gif or jpg.

5. In the Editor name box, type the name of the graphics editor you want to use.
6. In the Command box, type the path to the executable file (.exe) for the editor, or click Browse to locate the file.
7. Repeat steps 3 though 6 for each type of file to which you want to assign an editor.

My graphic is broken on my Web site.

• This can be caused by one of the following:

  You acquired this graphic from another web site

  When you add a graphic to a web site and then save the page that it's on, you are prompted to save that graphic to the same web site where your page is saved. If you acquired this graphic from a shared location or another web site, and you didn't save it to a folder in your web site, the path to it will be broken if that graphic is removed from the shared location or web site, and it will not display on your web page.

  You need to publish the image or the folder where it lives to your Web server

  If you have a graphic that you are using for a web page located in a local folder, when you publish that web page, you also need to publish the folder where all the graphics are or all your graphics will appear to be broken.

When I click a hot spot, it returns a 404 error message.

This can be caused by one of the following:

• The destination may have moved or may no longer exist   Verify that the file exists by viewing the destination file with your Internet browser if the file is on the Internet, or with Microsoft Windows Explorer if the file is on your hard drive or a network.
• You may not have access to the destination   If the destination file is on the Internet, make sure you have a connection to the Internet.
• There may be a technical problem   If you believe that the file you are linking to exists and that you have permission to link to it, try deleting your temporary Internet files.

  How?

  1. Open Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
  3. Under Temporary Internet Files, click Delete Files.

When I click a hot spot, it returns a 403 error message.

You may be trying to link to a page or directory that does not have anonymous browsing permissions.

• If the destination is on a network, contact your network administrator to ensure that you have access to the destination file.

When I am resizing a graphic in percentages, the Keep aspect ratio check box appears dimmed .

This behavior occurs because Microsoft FrontPage bases the percentage width or height of a graphic on a portion of the browser window (or table cell). The aspect ratio is not preserved. If you want to preserve the aspect ratio, you must resize your graphic by entering the width and height size in pixels.
