Embedding hotspots

[John Mowat]

Hi there. I'm working on a Word doc that I need to be
able to save as html in order to add image hotspots and
publish to the web.
The original Word document needs to be updated
frequently, but I don't want to have to redo the hotspots
every time - in other words, I want to save to html, add
hotspots, then reload in Word when neccessary for editing
as a .doc.
I find that if I add hotspots in FrontPage, when I reload
in Word, they're causing me all sorts of formatting
problems. Is there any way to bind the hotspot to the
image, so that when I work with them in Word, they're
treated as a single image file?
I'd prefer to embed the images rather than link them in
from a directory...
I have no idea if this is too much to ask, but thanks for
taking the time to wade through all of this.

could you not copy & paste the text from word into frontpage, and then use
frontpage from then on to edit the pages?

FP acts as a word processor of sorts in edit view (maybe with a few limitations
compared to word, but when you save as HTML in word you lose a lot of formatting
anyway).

No simple way to do it
IMHO just edit the page in FP
