When I publish a slide to HTML made up of only a standard rectangle with text
and the rectangle has a hyperlink (not the text in the box, but rather the
box itself). The hyperlink hotspot area is incorrect for the HTML page.

The hyperlink works just fine in the PowerPoint presentation, but not on the
HTML web page.  The hyperlink (hotspot area) map in the HTML page is only
defining the perimeter of the rectangle. This renders the hyperlink unusable
because a person would have to know to click on the rectangle's boarder; not
the inner area of the rectangle. It appears in that in HTML PowerPoint is
defining the map area to avoid the text within the rectangle.

Does anybody know how to ensure the entire area of the rectangle is mapped
as the hotspot?
