Uploading groups

[Riftvalley]

Hi,

I just saw a 'Tip of the day' which says that each group is exported as a single image.....so don't group objects together if you don't want them exported as one.

Does this apply to text? I notice that I have included text in a group in some webpages - together with links and when I look at the loaded page I can select individual images that are included in a group. So I don't think that this is true.

Not sure what this means.

If text is grouped to anything else, or just grouped to nothing but has been Grouped (Arrange > Group), then it exports as a bitmap and not editable text.

If you are concerned that search engines will not be able to identify the content, then add a searchable description to the image (Website Properties > Image > Image Caption (Alt Text))

Shape Shifter posted a while back with some sort of Name you can apply to text that is part of a group to have it export as text. Perhaps SS will check in with the magic name.

That would be htmltext

Thanks. Who needs SS, eh

What, apart from me and you ... ?

Thanks for that, the reason I was confused was that I had created a webpage with groups and could still select the text from the webpage and from within a group. I looked again and realised that I had used a soft group and this does not create a bitmap.
