Drag the HotSpot to the lower right corner, as explained above. Open the 'Object Properties' dialog box and
change the target page to 'PAGE3' under the Action tab. Follow the same procedure for 'PAGE3'. Here, you will
set 'INIT_PIC' as the target page.
In order to make the picture−changing function recognizable in the picture, write 'Next−>' in the rectangle
covered by the HotSpot. In this way, the picture can be changed by touching the text while the visualization
application is running.
To do this, select the text icon from the toolbar. The cursor changes to the positioning crosshair . Click
in the left area of the rectangle. The Text Object dialog box appears and prompts you for text entry. Type
'Next−>' and confirm with 'Enter'. Then close the dialog box by clicking 'OK'.
Switch back to editor mode by selecting from the toolbar. You can now properly align the text as you did
before with the HotSpot if it didn't look quite right when it was inserted.
Copy the text (same method as copying HotSpots) with Copy −> Paste on each of the other pages so that the
HotSpots there can also be made 'visible'.

After all the preparations in the previous steps, all requirements have now been met to allow us to begin

picture and to select the currently displayed bitmap using 2 buttons.
For this, switch to the first picture 'INIT_PIC' (click on it in the project tree). Nothing should be visible on this
