I want to load a drawing (onto a Wordpress site) that has text in various places and each text item should be clickable to take the user to a particular page. (It's actually a graveyard plan with grave numbers.) I have the drawing in CAD which allows linking, but this wouldn't be usable in a browser. Any suggestions for how to do this please?

You'll need to hot-spot the image using dreamweaver.

Here's a guide that might help

Thanks for that - very useful start. However I can't afford Dreamweaver; is there another possibility? It looks like I could just write the html, but it would take a bit of work!

If you only need to do it once then download a trial of dreamweaver from Adobe.

Someone on here may be able to do it for you if not

This is nice and easy and free:

Or learn the code, which isn't complicated but fiddly to calculate:

Thanks for these. I had just discovered the javascriptkit site, and also the dreamincode.net site. Doesn't look too bad.
I'll look at the other suggestions later.
Thanks for the help
