page. To edit the text, update the text in your artwork. Set the Horiz and Vert options to change the alignment of text
in the table cell. You can also select a background color for the table cell.
To edit the text for HTML Text slices in the Slice Options dialog box, change the slice type to No Image. This breaks
the link with the text object on the artboard. To ignore text formatting, enter <unformatted> as the first word in the
text object.

To adjust slice boundaries
If you created a slice using the Object > Slice > Make command, the position and size of the slice is tied to the artwork
it contains. Therefore, if you move or resize the artwork, the slice boundaries adjust automatically.
If you created a slice using the Slice tool, the Create From Selection command, or the Create From Guides command,
you can manually adjust slices in the following ways:
•
To move a slice, drag the slice to a new position with the Slice Selection tool
. Press Shift to restrict movement
to a vertical, horizontal, or 45˚ diagonal line.
•
To resize a slice, select the slice with Slice Selection tool, and drag any corner or side of the slice. You can also use
the Selection tool and Transform palette to resize slices.
•
To align or distribute slices, use the Align palette. Aligning slices can eliminate unneeded auto slices to generate a
smaller, more efficient HTML file.
•
To change the stacking order of slices, drag the slice to a new position in the Layers palette or select an Object >
Arrange command.
•
To divide a slice, select the slice and choose Object > Slice > Divide Slices.
You can combine slices that were created by any method. Select the slices and choose Object > Slice > Combine
Slices. The resulting slice takes its dimensions and position from the rectangle created by joining the outer edges of
the combined slices. If the combined slices are not adjacent or are of different proportions or alignments, the new
slice may overlap other slices.
To resize all slices to the artboard boundaries, choose Object > Slice > Clip To Artboard. Slices that extend beyond
the artboard are truncated to fit the artboard and autoslices that lie within the artboard are extended to the artboard
boundaries; all artwork remains the same.
To remove slices
You can remove slices by deleting them or by releasing them from the corresponding artwork.
•
To delete a slice, select the slice, and press Delete. If the slice was created using the Object > Slice > Make
command, the corresponding artwork is deleted at the same time. If you want to keep the corresponding artwork,
release the slice instead of deleting it.
