Centering a web page--Pub 2000

[song]

Someone asked this question last February and no one had a satisfactory
answer. I just discovered that I could start a new set of pages that
are wider than my original. Then I could go to the old pages, select
all for each page, and go to new set of pages and paste each page in.
The page is not centered to the screen, but all my goodies are centered
on the page, giving a bigger margin on each side. And there was no
need to rearrange the images. It's nicer to look at now that it is not
shoved completely over to the left of the browser.

I did notice that some of my color choices changed when I pasted in the
pages, but that was fairly easy to change. I supposed there was a way
I could have set it up so that wouldn't have happened, but it's all
good.

hope this helps someone

Take a look at these websites made with Publisher 2000. Is the centering of
these sites what you are wanting to do?

Hi Don. Yes, that is exactly what I was wanting to do. Now can you
tell me how it was done?

Thanks for your help, and best wishes,

I think centering can only be done with sites built with Publisher 2000,
which seems is the version you are using.

To center your site it requires to insert the html code <center> on each web
page. Fortunately there is a neat little program that makes the chore easy.
(It was found by one of the visitors on this site ?? May have been David)

The program is, Replace In Files and you can get it at:
http://www.emurasoft.com/index.htm

Copy down the following input for the four boxes and save it for reference.

Find: </head>

Replace with: </head> <center>

File Types: *.html

In Folders:
(Use the browse button to the location of your Publisher 2000 created html
files)

The four check boxes at the bottom can be left blank.

Once you've used Replace In Files the information you put in the boxes is
saved for future use.
If you have more than one website the In Folders path it will save each on
the drop down list.
