MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / November 2005Best Pictures
Dear David, Please look at this page on my website. http://www.whitebay.co.nz/pictures/?ea=&m=1100364997522&p=oi I use Publisher 2003 and am a long time fan of the program. Please tell me if I can improve the quality of the pictures in my gallery. I view them with I.E.6 and have Photoshop to custom the photos before uploading. The photos start at about 8Mb then I reduce them. The Gallery shows pictures of lavender plants and clarity is very important. Thanks very much,  SignatureYours faithfully Max Patmoy Whitebay Group Limited max@whitebay.co.nz www.whitebay.co.nz Dear David, I also wish a reply to this question. WE do not want a pop up. Rather a small box with information. In my case a small box of information about each picture on a web page that opens up just by hovering above the picture. I want to put the "alt" information in the "hover box" . The HTML code must go something like this ... alt="hover message appears here" Yours faithfully Max Patmoy max@whitebay.co.nz www.whitebay.co.nz Publisher supports image Alt Text. If you'd gone to the Help menu, and in the Search box typed in alt text you would have found this... Select the picture to which you want to add alternate text. On the Format menu, click Picture. Click the Web tab. Under Alternative text, type text that describes the content of the picture.

At the bottom you will see where to add your alt text. Are you saying that in Pub 2003 you found where to add your alt text, but when you preview the page, the alt text does not show when you hover over the image? If so, try removing your border on one of the pictures, and see if that works. And my two bits worth about your images, the colors seem fine, but the focus or sharpness could be improved. I captured one of your images and used the Quick Fix in Photoshop Elements to apply the Auto Focus, and noticed an improvement in the lavender plants. Perhaps work on your original images in Photoshop. Alternatively, some have reported here that you get better results if you write an html link to your original image file and upload the image file rather then inserting it into the document. Here is a description of the process. Ignore the reference to Pub 2000: http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=84 DavidF > Dear David, > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > >> > >> www.whitebay.co.nz Dear David, I removed the borders but still no joy. I tried with linked and embedded images.

When the page loaded for me the first image was slow to load and as a result I could see the alt text was there, as it will display in an image frame just before the image loads. As to why the mouse hover doesn't display it I can't say. Fwiw alt text isn't intended to be a visual description of an image, it's purpose is to be read by a sight impaired browser. I found a couple of images at the bottom of the page I could get a alt text display on a mouse hover, so the browser isn't consistent in the mouse hover. You have so much going on with that page, could be anything that's interfering. > Dear David, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >> try >> removing your border on one of the pictures, and see if that works.

However, I was not able to get any alt text to display on any images on his site. I am wondering if this is tied into the no-right click coding in Pub 2003? Perhaps I am just showing my ignorance of coding ;-) DavidF > When the page loaded for me the first image was slow to load and as a result > I could see the alt text was there, as it will display in an image frame [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > >> try > >> removing your border on one of the pictures, and see if that works. Dear David, Shame there is no happy ending with this problem. I will watch the Group in case anyone stumbles over the solution. Does Publisher 2003 have this feature and do mouseovers occur on other people's (2003) sites? Perhaps the answer is in my settings somewhere? Max > David, > [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] >> >> try >> >> removing your border on one of the pictures, and see if that works. Did I happen to explain what ALT text is actually for? I have to be frank and state that I can't grasp why you are spending so much time on this. Nobody is going to sit there and mouseover all your images. If you want a description on your images then give the image a caption. I'll reiterate that since the alt text is present I do not believe this is a Publisher issue, but rather a browser issue. That page is overloaded with scripts, any one of which could be interfering with the browser behavior. If this topic is mission critical to you then what you need to do is test this issue and see where you can reproduce it, and then learn from that. How do you test? Start by creating a new blank web publication and recreate the image, and only the image, and then publish it and view it. Do you get the desired results, or not? If yes, then add a script or other object to the page, and publish and view again. Repeat this process until you can repro it. If no then try modifications to the image and test each one. Optionally you can take a copy of the existing web publication and pull items off of it, one at a time, publishing and viewing after each item, to see if the results change because you removed an item or items.
