Does anyone know how to save / preserve image maps when updating graphics?

Hello all,
I'm currently working on a RH7 HTML project, which I've designed to be used in support of a software application.
Some of the application's dialogue boxes have quite complex multi-tabbed GUIs, so when it comes to describing their functionality, you often end up with a long list below the graphic image. What this means of course, is that the user is forever scrolling up and down to make reference between the GUI and the explanatory text.
I hit upon an idea I'd used previously, whereby I created popups to multiple image map hotspots. It works like a dream and the client and users really like the concept - but there's a snag (apparently).
Because the application is still in development. some of those GUIs are (and will continue to) change. No problem with that either - until I try and insert the updated graphic. Poof !! All my hotspots disappear . . .
Surely I'm not alone in trying this approach and there must be some way of preserving the hotspots?
Any suggestions?

Hi there
It sounds like you are using the standard methods of inserting an image. Don't do that!
All you need to do in these cases is to use Windows Explorer to save the updated image using the same file name and replacing the former image. When you do this your other data will remain intact. If the new image is a different size, just right-click it inside the RoboHelp HTML editor and choose Reset Size. You also may need to tweak your hotspots if things shifted some.
Cheers... Rick

    sure you can convert it to color image, but you must define what color convertion do you like.

    The only way is to restore from a backup that has the message you want.  If you do this you will lose anything since that backup.

  • Hi,does anyone know how the Iwatch will play music when it is not near a bluetooth device as it is stated in the feature setting..Icloud streaming,internal hard drive?

    Hi,does anyone know how the Iwatch will play music when it is not near a bluetooth device as it is stated in the feature setting..Icloud streaming,internal hard drive?

    I did not hear them state the feature requirements directly in the streaming even but there are statements on the Apple website that clearly say that an iPhone is necessary.  I'm guessing that other than Bluetooth for pairing with the iPhone, it's just not technically possible to fit any other radios such as WiFi or LTE into that form factor or battery capacity.  I don't even remember them mentioning if it had a speaker or could pair directly with bluetooth headphones.
    While I'm hoping that the watch has a reasonable stand-alone feature set, they didn't make it clear what exactly it can and can't do without an iPhone nearby.  I also hope that they communicate this better in the coming days.

  • HT2008 Does anyone know how to save an ichat from my iphone to my mac laptop?

    A dear friend of mine passed away, and I want to save an important ichat of ours to my Mac laptop. (I believe part of the ichat an SMS text and part is an ichat but it shows up as one long text over several months). Does anyone know how to do this? I'm running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4. Thank you very much!

    HI,
    So this is a conversation that is on the iPhone that has taken place over a period of time and has involved SMS  and iChat type Messages.
    I did this on my phone
    Go to Messages
    Go to the conversation you want to "Save"
    Use the Edit top right.
    Scroll the Conversation to the top
    Tap each line you want to send (somewhere)
    Each will get a red tick and the Forward  and Delete option at the bottom become Active.
    Once I had several lines ready I chose the Forward Option and sent them to my Apple ID I use in Messages Beta  (i.e I sent is as an iMessage)
    The result is a single iMessage with all the lines (selected) justified to the left  (it does not separate you and your Buddy's parts)
    Picture
    If your iPhone is in the United States and the Carrier support AIM SMS forwarding you may be able to send it to yourself, in iChat, via that method.
    You may have some luck with http://www.apple.com/itunes/inside-itunes/2010/04/how-to-grab-screenshots-on-iph one-ipad-and-ipod-touch.html
    I have yet to find a way to email the Messages/Conversation.

  • Does anyone know how to save a document as a word document?

    Hello anyone out there?
    First of all thank you for the help. I am new to the program pages and I am trying type an old version of my resume and save it as a word document. I did check out the tutorial and I tried to follow the steps indicated there but the problem is that there is no "SAVE AS" as the option that I need to choose. Does anyone know why I dont get the option "SAVE AS"? is it because I am creating the document from scratch?
    Please help I need a job
    Sincerely
    Anonymous

    Thank you. I am new to word processing anything more than letters but have got myself into a real pickle with a 12 page document. I used pages but in future I will probably use Word, I have both. I worked out that a PDF exports a document fully but I do need to reorganise the pages and am really stuck.
    I have just posted this on the pages thread
    "I have created a 12 page document  which I want to create a newsletter out of in the format of an A5 pamphlet. So at the moment each page is an A4 size but I need to reduce the size to A5 so that I can fit 2x A5 pages on each A4 in the pamphlet.  It will also need to be double sided!  I seem to have fallen at the first hurdle ie reordering the pages in the document. I have searched the forums for help and everyone says its all about ceating sections. Well. when I click at the end of the page and go to INSERT then SECTION BREAK, the section break is greyed out.
    I have tried “showing invisibles” but this does not seem to make any difference.
    Its a word processing document to which I added text boxes, photos and colour fills.
    Can someone patient person kindly advise?
    Thank you.

  • Does anyone know how to save to sharepoint from Acrobat XI pro with SDK or Javascript?

    The goal is to have Acrobat Pro watch a folder, OCR any document that appears, then save it to sharepoint using the contents of the file name to determine certain meta data.
    If watching a folder is not practical then it can be run manually, but it would be better if it could watch the folder.  I tried searching but I am having difficulty finding examples of saving to sharepoint using the built-in javascript capability or the SDK.
    If anyone can point me to or show me an example of any of these issues I would appreciate it.  In the end I will need to find the documents, OCR them, take apart the file name to determine metadata and destination location, save to sharepoint, delete the original file.

    I think I will need to see a javascript sample that sets key metadata for the document to be saved, and some kind of documentation on how to tell the Action to save to sharepoint.  I assumed it would be pretty straight forward but I am having trouble finding any kind of documentation.
    Also as files are processed, I need to move them so they don't get processed again.  I was thinking that in addition to putting them in sharepoint it would make sense to move the move to a processed directory as a backup and delete the original.
    I did not see that option in action either, so I could use come guidance.

  • I am short of HD space to save the ipad ios5 download in itunes. Does anyone know how to save it to a location other than the c:?

    I have just bought an ipad2 (great except when have occaisonal wi fi issues) that I want to upgrade to ios5
    I have itunes on version 10.5.1
    When I plug in my ipad - I follow the route to obtaining the ipad update but it is 700MB and I have limited space on my c:. I have 4GB on my partioned D: and this is the location where I have my itunes media files, plus also some on a 1TB external HD
    It doesn't seem to matter what I do - but the ipad update seems to be being saved down to the C: [as I'm getting PC messages saying that I'm running out of space]. I've spent 2 nights stripping it back to free up 800MB but the ipad download stops at about 600MB
    Is there a way I can force the download to go to the D:, where I have plenty of space?
    Any ideas appreciated?
    Thanks

    How do you move the frame? Like I said, it is not how it was filmed.  In the smaller version that you can scroll through, it looks normal, but in the viewing window it looks like it is zoomed in.  I tried pinching with my fingers (how you would to zoom out of a photo) and it didn't work.

  • Does anyone know how to save an iweb site to dvd so that a Windows user...

    can put it in their computer and view it? This would be a hard copy of the site with all files. Have created a very media rich iweb site and am hoping to enable several people to view the site without accessing the internet.
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions. You all are always so helpful.
    Best,

    Publish your Site to a folder and burn it to disk.
    The disk doesn't know it's a website.
    Your webpages have to be viewed in a Browser.
    And as long they do not contain outside links, there's no need for an Internet connection.
    Practice with a RW disk. Then you can erase the disk and start over.
    All kind of tricks such as autostart can be found on the internet.
    PS. Scan for virusses too, otherwise Windows and/or its users get hysterical.

  • Does anyone know how to save waveform data (Write to Measurement File) with a variant iteration?

    I'm using LV8.5.1

    I would pull your save data loop to it's own loop then make it event driven like I did in the example. This is just an example and there are probably ways to make the code better and faster but I am just trying to give you an example that we can build on. I am not reall sure what you itterations was for other than to give your loop enough time to save. By seperating the two loops the save no longer depends on the data acquisition loop.
