an image map area?

To select an image map area, choose the Image Map Select tool from the toolbox (located on the same fly-out menu as the other Image Map tools), then click on an image map area. If you wish to add more areas to the selection, hold down the Shift key as you click on them. A selected image map area will look like this:

You can move, resize, change the shape, or delete an image map area that you have created with the Image Map tools.

Move:
1) Select the image map area(s) you want to move.

2) Drag the image map to its new location. If you hold down the Shift key, the movement will be restricted to horizontal, vertical, or 45 degree diagonal directions.

Resize or reshape:
1) Select the image map area you want to change.

2) Point to a handle on the border of the area, and then drag it to its new location. (If the area is a rectangle, hold down the Shift key if you want to constrain the shape to the same proportions.)

Delete:
1) Select the image map area(s) you want to delete.

2) Press the Backspace or Delete key.
