I am trying to link my photos to my text links in a website.
I have many photos and can be linked to the same text but can't find or
figure out how to do this. The photos are on one page of the site and the
text is on another page of the site. Hope I have described this right. Please
Help
 
You need to insert a normal hyperlink for each picture, which links to the
same page essentially.

Right-click the image, then go to Insert > Hyperlink; the "insert hyperlink"
dialogue opens; in the "Address" field either select a file from the list,
or type in the HTML page's name, or type in the full address to the page (if
the page to be linked to is a page on a site external to your web site)
including the 'http://'

Repeat this procedure, for each image, specifying the page to be linked to
in each case (but as you mention it's the same page you want to link to,
just type in the same address or select the same file each time)

So for example: you have 5 photos and want to link to a page of text e.g.
description, caption or whatever, they would be like this:

<a href="description.html"><img src="lion.jpg"></a>
<a href="description.html"><img src="tiger.jpg"></a>
<a href="description.html"><img src="leopard.jpg"></a>
<a href="description.html"><img src="cheeta.jpg"></a>

In this example, if "description.html" is on a site different form your own
you need to use the full URL e.g.
http://www.someothersite.com/description.html

Such as:
<a href="http://www.someothersite.com/description.html"><img
src="lion.jpg"></a>


As far as I understand your question, this is the correct method - if this
isn't what you want please clarify by posting a reply.

Could you provide a link to the page (even if temporarily) to give us an
idea of what you're trying to accomplish?
