Combine text and image in RH9

[pleasetakethisname]

I am trying to create an effect similar to one in PowerPoint where you can use an image as a text box, so that the text appears "on top of" the image, like

I would like this "text box clone" to resize according to the width of the topic window regardless of the text length.

I would use these for either a heading style or for the header on a master page.

I tried using a background image as shading for a one-celled table, but can't get the background image to resize. I'm unable to find anything like this in Help, even when searching through Google.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Hi Julie

You aren't finding it because it doesn't exist in RoboHelp. Your best bet is to create it using PowerPoint, then use a Screen Capture tool to capture the image from PowerPoint and use it in RoboHelp.

You *MIGHT* be able to accomplish it using Positioned Text Boxes, but my experience of using them is that they are unpredictable and you can't always guarantee they won't obscure some important text.

Cheers... Rick

Hi,

If I understand correct, you need a text with a background image. But seeing Rick's reply I wonder if I understand correct. But here it goes anyway: For a background image, you can use the css background property. See http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_background.asp

Thanks, Rick.

The only problem with the PPT solution is that the text distorts when the window is resized. Is there a way to avoid that?

I appreciate the link to the Wish Form. Will forward my wish to Adobe.

Again, thanks and regards,

Julie
