Choose a color that will appear in the slice area of the resulting Web page from the
•
Background pop-up menu. Keep in mind that the selected color will not be displayed in
Illustrator.
The text for HTML Text slices is displayed in the Slice Options dialog box; however,
you cannot edit it. You can make HTML text editable in the Slice Options dialog box by
changing the slice type to No Image. This breaks the link with the text object on the
artboard. To ignore text formatting, enter <unformatted> as the first word in the text
object.
Viewing slices
You can view slices on the artboard and in the Save for Web dialog box. For information on
viewing slices in the Save for Web dialog box, see
zation" on page 306.
Illustrator numbers slices from left to right and top to bottom, beginning in the upper left
corner of the artwork. If you change the arrangement or total number of slices, slice
numbers are updated to reflect the new order.

Selecting and modifying slices
The method you use to select a slice, as well as the ways you can modify a slice, depend on
how the slice was created. There are fewer options for modifying slices that were created
using the Object > Slice > Make command, because these slices are tied to the size and
position of elements in your artwork.
