There are a few ways you can make text appear on top of the images. The easiest and probably most common way is to use a div with absolute positioning, if you're not sure what i'm talking about, go to
http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/stylesheets/...#csspositioning. The other easy way is to make the bit you want your text on one slice, and then in the table instead of <td><img src .. ..></td> put in <td background=... ..>insert the text you want on the image here</td>.
About slicing, there's another way I use which I find easier. I don't like dragging the shapes straight out with the slice tool, because more often than not I get the size wrong. In Photoshop, when your rulers (View => Rulers [i think]) are on, click on the ruler and drag down to create a guide. When you have guides everywhere you want a slice, click the export to Imageready button. In Imageready, there's a menu item called Slices, and under that you should find something called Create Slices From Guides. Of course, you'll probably end with slices you don't want, so with the slice select tool select the ones you want to be one slice only (shift + click), then right click and choose "Combine Slices".
