Animations?
You
cannot create an animation in Draw nor can you import one directly. However,
there is an option in the Edit menu to “Place Internet Object.” One of
the sub-options is to place an embedded file. This option allowed us to
import the animated banner above; however, there was no way to properly
size it without some other reference. (A generic icon is displayed
for such embedded files.) The solution was to import the animated GIF file
through the normal import, producing a static bitmap image. We then
sized the embedded animation to match it, and then deleted the static bitmap. |

Creating
Links
We
already mentioned how easy it was to turn text into a hyperlink on page
1. It is just as simple to turn a graphic into a a similar hyperlink.
The graphic at the bottom was selected, and converted into a link to the
next page, in exactly the same way as the text in this paragraph; select
it, right click, choose “internet link,” and select “top of page x.” That’s
all there is to it! On the next page, we will delve into more sophisticated
links, including links to other websites and image maps. |
