Everythink works, hyperlinked goodness of mappy persuasion.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  Ok, ok, i´ll explain...I got the first level map scanned with a really good scanner. Later, i connected the parts again togeher - voila, a .png file of proportions ca. 2200 X 1200. Big, but useable. I´ve tried to somehow link text to that map for days, but nothing was really good.What i wanted: Klick on an area of the map, insert a link to another page or a sidebar where i can manually enter text (for instance stuff from the box or stuff i come up with). What i tried: Doing it as a really big .pdf (Adobe Pro sucks), using Photoshop as my map viewer (gah!), using maptool (nothing beyond tokens can somehow hide text). I even tried blowing up a word docx page to 55 X 55 cm and adding the map as a watermark. Looked good, but the ability to add text where i want it was ... lacking.The solution? Microsoft One Note! Ha! I knew that tool was going to be useful. I just inserted the map into a new page, and then pulled it big, big, BIG. Then, i chose "set as background". Voila, pixelating, but useable. Big working area, can scroll in any direction, can add pictures, words and the best: Links! It´s possible to just insert a number or word and create a linked section. Then all you need is a backlink and you can change from explanation to overview map with a click! I already entered some text from the boxed set and it´s easily the most useful setup i ever used: Always when some section in the text says "in room 30, its like that" i directly link to room 30 and enter the relevant information. Give me a couple of weeks, and Undermountain is ready to eat the first adventurer! I would never have believed that i would say it after all the crashing office did on me, but.. thanks, microsoft.</blockquote>
