RE: maps
Stephanie,
I'll assume you're talking about Image Maps.
To do this in dreamweaver, create the areas on your image using the image map tools (rectangle, circle, poly). Then click the blue area of your choice. Then see the properties toolbar for a place to type or browse to your file to create a link.
You can link to anything including mailto, files, external web sites and anchors.
Hope this helps.
Regards, Rich
