beta 2007 web design issues

[Eric]

Hello , I'm having problems with alignment on the webpage I created. It looks
great on one computer --say my laptop ---and then out of wack on my desktop.
Every other website I view looks equal on both. What is my solution to this?

Also , Is it possible for me to insert files for download such as as
powerpoint program for a slide show ---and how about a video for viewing on
media player or equiv.

Any help is appreciated

Its possible that it is a number of things. Run the design checker under
tools and see if that catches any problems. However I suspect this is
because this has been a problem sometimes with Pub 2003 and wide screen
laptops. Sounds like it is still an issue for Pub 2007. There hasn't been an
answer that works for everyone.

You can try adjusting your screen properties. Right click your desktop >
properties > Settings tab > Advanced. Change your DPI setting to 96 dpi.
Delete your IE cache and view your site again.

If that doesn't fix it, log on to your webhost, and delete your index.htm
file and the index_files folder. Don't delete any other files or folders if
they exist in the root directory! Open your Publisher web publication >
Tools > Options > Web tab. Uncheck "Rely on VML..." and "Allow PNG...".
Publish to the Web, and upload your new html files to your web host.

After deleting your IE cache, view your site again.

If that doesn't work, then change the screen resolution under the Settings
Tab to the same setting as on your desktop screen. Then republish new html
files as you did before.

And if that still didn't help, you can produce your html output on your
desktop, instead of your laptop.

Which version of IE are your using? I am hopeful that IE 7 will fix a number
of issues with Publisher.
