In the built Help file, users can select the hot spots either with the mouse or with the keyboard. When using a keyboard, users press the TAB key to move from one hot spot to the next. This is called the tabbing order.
Hotspot Editor creates the tabbing order in the same order that you create the hot spots within the graphic.

1.nDefine each hot spot in the same order you want users to follow in the built Help file.
After you have created one or more hot spots, you can view the tabbing order by using the Select command on the Edit menu.
