Hotspots/Frames

[Tony Hill]

I've got a Visio file included in a page with pretty graphics. For explantion purposes let's say its a map of the states of the US on the top half of the screen with a load of hotspots for each site (all the states are rectangular, right), When I hit a state I want some prettily-formatted text for that state to come up on the bottom hald of the screen
Could I use a Word object with bookmarks perhaps - but how would I jump to the bookmark within the Word object
Or can I have a frame with the Pub document and load an individual formatted document into it for each state
Or do I have to 'resort' to FrontPage or VB with the inherant development overheads and loss of Publisher's ease of use

Please help me at this stage so I don't make any time-expensive mistakes at this early stage

Thanks, Tony

Frames would be the solution for your situation.
Publisher does not support frames.
You could either hand-code frameset that load pub pages or use FrontPage.
