Need help with menu item highlighting

I have a short video with three chapters. I've set up a one-page menu with a thumbnail for each chapter and a "play all"link. The problem I'm having is that for each chapter the thumbnail and chaplter tiltle seem to be separate live areas, so when I navigate with the remote, the thumbnail is highlighted, then the text under the thumbnail and so on. What I want is for the thumbnail and text all to highlight at once.

The way I set up the menu was to import the video, creating a defalult button and text. I deleted the button and edited the text to "play all". Then I created 3 chapter points and inserted a scene selection menu (creating a new menu page and a link on the top menu). From the scene selection menu page, for each chapter I set the in and out points for the chapter. I set the thumbnail images using the slider thingy, and edited the text under the thumbnails. Then I selected all the thumbnails and pasted the the top nemu page. Then I selected all the text and pasted that to the top menu page. The I deleted the scene selection button and text that had originally been created on the top menu.

Everything is fine except that the thumbnails and text for each chapter is treated as a separate link to that chapter. I'd like both thumbnail and text to be highlihgted at once, but I don't want to have to go back and recreate the whole damned menu (thank God its a simple one). Any ideas? I've tried changing the highlighing style, but it doesn't solve the provlem. If I do have to redo, what do I need to do differently. I know in old menus, thumbnail and text highlight together.

Thanks

There's your problem. Select both the images and their text together for your copy and paste and it will be what you are after.

Thanks Gary, I suspected that was it. I ended up deleting the text link boxes and replacing them with plain text objects.

Or you could have deleted the old text, clicked on the image and edited the properties to be image & text.
