I've been trying the XHTML editor in DocToHelp 2009v2.  There are some nice improvements from the last release.

 But, is there any way to create image maps with it?

Hello,

Yes you can create image maps, by using the Image Map Editor.

 To create an image map

1.    Open your source document (.doc or .docx) in Word.

2.    Insert a graphic (Insert > Picture in Word).

3.    Select the graphic. Click the Image Map Editor button . The Image Map Editor dialog box will open.

4.    Click the Draw button at the top left and select a region.

5.    Click the Link tab at the bottom right and click the Link button. The Link dialog box will open.

6.    Choose the Topic, Keyword, or Group to link the region to.

7.    Click OK. Click the Save button at the top left. Select additional regions if desired and create links. Each region created will be named “Hot Region #X” by default, which will display in a pop-up when the user hovers over the graphic. To rename, select the Region name and click the Rename button on the top right. Rename the region.

8.    Click OK.

Thanks!

Hello BedfordWriter,

 

I have understood that you are looking to use the Image Map editor.

 

As you can see in the mail thread how to use the Image map editor, but in order to narrow down  the issue I need to know that are you looking to use the Image map editor in XHTML editor or word Doc.

 

Please feel free to share your observations on the same.

 

Have a nice day.

 

Regards,

Patrick Simpson

XHTML.   The image map editor in Word is easy to find and use.  It's creating image maps with the XHTML editor that I want to be able to do.

Hello,

 

Thanks a lot for your reply. Please note that we can use the image map editor in Word Doc, but currently this property is not exposed in XHTML editor.

 

I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

 

Have a nice day.

 

Regards,

Patrick
