If you do not have anything in your image to represent a particular hotspot, we would suggest the following:
 
Option 1:  Place the hotspot in an area of the image that is not being used.  Doing so will allow you to still access vocabulary.
 
Option 2: Hide the hotspot.
a.  Select the Properties button on the hotspot.
