To arrange or align image maps (ImageReady)
The Web Content palette displays the stacking order of image maps. The image map on the top of your stack takes
precedence, so it’s helpful to be able to arrange them.

To change the stacking order, do one of the following:
•
Select one or more image map areas you want to arrange. You can select a combination of tool-based image map
areas and layer-based image map areas. Then, with the Image Map Select tool active, click a stacking order option
in the options bar. Alternatively, choose a stacking order command from the Image Map palette menu.

maps. Select an Align option: Top Edges, Vertical Centers, Bottom Edges, Left Edges, Horizontal Centers, Right
Edges.
