Thanks for clarifying the background thing.
I can now try soft grouping the items; see if that works.

The option to have a mouseover effect without a link, is not possible in WD, then?

What about the lack of information on the Layer overview screen, compared to how it was before? I followed a rather labouriously lengthy tutorial on Mouse Over State on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy9nX7cp7Yc) with WD7, which clearly showed what I am used to seeing. Every element on the layer shown in the overview window. Version 9 has been improved to no longer show that helpful information? Why?
