Using FrontPage to Create an Image Map

Why?To create links to various pages from within the same image, for example 

• to an individual person from a group of people,
• to a specific piece of art from a group of various choices, etc.

1.Open your webpage within FrontPage as a single page.(or just open a new page.)

2.Insert your image.

3.Click on your image to select it.

4.In the toolbar at the bottom of the page, select the rectangle, oval or polygonal tool to create a “hotspot”. 

5.Using this tool, draw over the desired person or object on your image to select that part.You’ll be able to adjust the shape later.

6.In the window that appears, type in the URL to link to.If the file will be stored in the same folder, you can just type the filename.You can also choose the button “Create a new page & link to that page.”

7.You can click on the tab “Preview” at the bottom of the window in order to test your links.

8.Save your file, and upload it to the server using “WS_FTP”.

Using FrontPage to Create a Thumbnail Image

Why?Creating a small version of larger images helps your pages download much faster.Students can click on the thumbnail to see the full image.This can be especially useful if your page has a number of images, for example, works of art to view.

1.Insert an image into your FrontPage document.

2.Click on the image to select it.(Notice the “time” listed in the lower right corner.That is the “download” time for that page using a 28.8 modem.)

3.Click on the “Auto Thumbnail” button at the bottom left side of the window.(Did the download time change?)

4.Save your document.Give it an appropriate filename and title.During the saving process, you’ll get a window “Save Embedded Files”.Both of the images should appear (normal & the small one), and be saved in the same folder.

5.After saving, upload your file & images to the server using WS_FTP.
