After you insert an image hotspot on an image, you can no longer select the

the text overlay. For more information on how FrontPage handles text
overlays, please see the "More Information" section later in this article.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods.
Method 1: Move the Image Hotspot- Click to select the image hotspot.
- Drag the image hotspot so that the text overlay is visible.
Method 2: Delete the Image Hotspot- Click to select the image hotspot.
- Press the DELETE key on the keyboard.
Method 3: Use Your Text Overlay as an Image Hotspot- Click to select the text overlay.
- Right-click on the text overlay, and then click Image Hotspot Properties
on the menu that appears.

STATUS

of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
When you add a text overlay, the text for the image is stored as an image
in the hidden folder named _overlay. When you save the page, FrontPage uses
the source image and combines it with the overlay image to create the
derived image. The derived image is stored in the hidden folder named
_derived. When you browse to the page, your Web browser displays the
derived image.
