[thelist] Simple graphics question (second posting)

Hey Hershel,

Not sure if this will help but if you know of somebody with Fireworks 4 it
will handle what you need to do with aligning everything including the
clouds.  By converting them to symbols, you can create an entire rollover
menu system that will generate the HTML needed to insert into your web page.

Another suggestion would be to create the page in Front Page 2000, Why?, FP
allows you to place text over a .gif element while in design mode so lining
up your clouds and your text would not be a problem.

I posted this yesterday but it seems to have gotten lost somewhere.  Here it
is again:

OK, I'm a programmer.  I do a bit of design here and there but I'm no pro.
Some things I can do and some things I can't do.

I have a client with a small graphics need.  He has the background GIF with
rollover for his buttons.  It's a little cloud.  Now I need to put the
different names of the buttons inside the GIFs.  I have to get the letters
to match (i.e. same position) in the normal and in the rollover versions and
I need to get the buttons to all match each other.

The second part I can probably do but the first part I can't do it exactly.
I don't have much in the way of graphics tools.  I have Corel PhotoHouse
which I usually use for simple graphics stuff and I have PBM and Kai Photo
Soap.  Aside from that, I have available the wide world of freeware for
Windows 2K :)

Any advice as to how to proceed is appreciated.

Thanks,
Hershel, who nearly failed 5th grade art class :)
