- I don't know what you mean by "when it is pressed control moves somewhere else",
- but to place a working hypertext marker over any graphic is simple.
-
- Just draw a new textrect (AKA text column) on top of the area you want to be "hot"
- (a graphic in your case). Do not use the textline tool. Then use the Marker dialog
- box to insert a hypertext marker in the textrect. I assume your graphic is in an
- anchored frame already so that it floats with edits to your main text column - your
- new textrect will naturally paste into the anchored frame as well. You need not add
- any new frame. Be sure your new textrect has fill and pen colors set to "none". Be
- sure you see a text cursor flashing in your new textrect when you use the Marker
- dialog box.
-
- e-mail me if you have any other questions - I've made massive use of hyperlinks.
