Rendering a text block as an image

When publishing your title, you can select to publish a text block as an image rather than as text. This can have several advantages. During publishing, word wrapping and line height can sometimes vary between browsers, or even between versions of the same browser. If you need to maintain exact word alignment, such as when you are aligning overlapping images and text, use this setting. Also, use this setting if you use a non-standard font, and want it to be represented exactly. Some drawbacks of rendering text as an image are increased download time for images as opposed to text, and that a student will not be able to copy text from the text block to the clipboard. This setting cannot be used if the text block has embedded hyperlinks, is the target of a Change Contents action or if the text block has a vertical scroll bar.

If a text block is published as an image, the first 128 characters of text is used as its ALT tag. ALT tags have a limitation of 128 characters.

To render a text block as an image when published:

Double-click the text block graphic of the text block in the Title Explorer or right-click on the text block in the work-area and select Properties. The Text Properties tab is displayed.
Enable the Convert to Image check box in the Text group.
