How do I HOTLINK an image? (NOT hyperlink.)
I want to be able to paste an image off my website into a webdocument in Word.
I want this image to be hotlinked to the picture in my website so it shows up when I put the html from viewsource into my website. Trouble is - I can't work out how to do this. Can anyone help me please? I can edit the html source afterwards to put in the link but the document saves as a seperate file and it *still* saves the filename for the picture as one on my harddrive. Sorry if this message isn't too clear but I'm going crosseyed trying to figure this out. Cheers. Binky |

That reply was really helpful so thank you. :-)
But is there a way to edit this in the webpage view instead of the source coding? Thanks.

Hi Binky,
If you want to copy an image from your website to the Word document then you can do it from your browser (right click on the picture and choose copy, then paste into Word). [Select the picture and use Format=Picture=Layout=In line with text, to see the 'link' in the Edit menu] Or you can copy the URL from the picture and use Insert=Picture=From File and paste the URL link there. When you want to link, but not hyperlink to the the picture Word is using the {IncludePicture} field (Insert=Field) rather than a hyperlink, but you can also hyperlink from a picture in a Word document. You can also add the alt'"your text here" by selecting the included picture in Word and then using Format=Picture=Web although Word doesn't do a very good job of allowing the web browser to access the alt text. ======= "Binky" wrote in message ... That reply was really helpful so thank you. :-) But is there a way to edit this in the webpage view instead of the source coding? Thanks. Binky -- Let us know if this helped you, Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* Office 2003 Editions explained http://www.microsoft.com/uk/office/editions.mspx |

Hi lostinspace and thanks again for your reply.
I hate clicking the button that says "no this post didn't answer the question" because you are being so helpful. In fact you're probably answering some of the questions I 'should' have asked. lol But you seriously are helping. :-) I'll check out that software because I think I heard of it a long time ago and never tried it. I used to write webpages in pure html because it gave me good control over the look of my webpages and keep the layout how I wanted it. But since I learnt all that jazz I got a neurological problem and slight double vision so editing source code is beyond me these days. I'm pretty much learning stuff from scratch again. lol It'd probably help if I said what I was trying to do wouldn't it? I make and sell cross stitch charts for sale over the web. For this I need a webpage - literally a one page website is enough. On the page would be some text and a few pictures showing the finished charts. And of course buyitnow buttons for paypal (don't need a shopping cart, it's too complicated for my customers apparently). So - I know I have to fiddle around with html a little with my encoded PayNow buttons. These needs to be pasted as a button/image into my webpage so my customer can pay for their chart. Those are all the images I need. Photos of the charts and BuyNow buttons with their own html for payment. The reason I want to make my webpage in a WYSIWYG editor is because my eyes go crosseyed when dealing with pure html and I want the simple webpage to look nice. Then I need to upload the site to a free server (until I can afford to buy some webspace). But because of bandwidth limitations on free (and paid) webspace I need to hotlink my images on my website to my imagehost which has unlimited bandwidth. If I don't do this I will lose customers because my bandwidth will run out and my site shut down too quickly every month. Thanks again and I hope to hear from you soon.

I'll try this tonight and see how it goes. If I haven't tried this already
then I've done something pretty similar. Whatever it was I did only the picture came up and it wasn't hotlinked into the html source. But I'll try it following your instructions stepbystep and see what happens. Thank you.
