 * I am building a page with about fifty separate elements many of which need to
   be aligned.
 * Although the grid and ruler help, I am currently doing the aligning just visually.
   Is there a better way?
 * (Also it would help if I could copy an element, particularly pictures, not just
   its style. Is there a way of doing that?)
 * Or perhaps I should build up my elements elsewhere and import composites. For
   example, merge in to a single item a button and its title. That would halve my
   number of elements in plugnedit. What do you think?

 * Hi
 * Have you tried pulling the blue & pink guides right below the rulers (click and
   pull into place).
 * You can do this with plugnedit with great amount of time and a bunch of luck.
 * However the problem is you are trying to create a highly complex page that needs
   multiple software programs, to be done right.
 * In proper web page building to create a item you are trying to create you build
   one single image of the item and create hot spot mappings.
 * Example page of HTML map.
 * [http://html.cita.illinois.edu/text/map/map-example.php](http://html.cita.illinois.edu/text/map/map-example.php)
 * So basically you need.
    A good image editor like photoshop. And a web page editor
   that will build mappings like dreamweaver.
 * Our editor does not build hot spot mappings at this time
    Maybe some time in 
   the next year we will support the option.
 * These program a bit expensive and take great knowledge to accomplish the task.
 * As far as the duplicate item I think we have that already written into the program,
   it currently is off because it has not been tested (I will look into it).

 * That is really helpful.
 * You are right that I can build the graphic better elsewhere.
 * Although it looks complicated, I actually only need four hotspots to link to 
   other pages.
 * So I will try that.
 * I’ll look into pulling the blue and red guides
 * Many thanks for your full and quick response
