Fromatting issues FP 2003

Hi group. I just upgraded to the 2003 version of frontpage and I like it much
better than 2002. The one feature I like is where you can set the view to the
different pixel settings such as 800X600, 1024x768 ect..

However, I am designing in the view of 1024x768 and I notice when I goto the
preview page before publishing, all my text and pictures on my page are not
alligned and formattted correctly like the design page. It forces me to off
set text and pictures so when I view it in preview mode they look like they
should. Then I publish. That is really a pain in the butt. I have to keep
going back and fourth checking to see if thngs are lined up the way i want.

Does anyone else experience this issue? If so, how do I fix it? There must
be a way. Thanks in advance

Always go by what you see when using Preview in Browser.

Keep in mind that not everyone that has 1024 x 768 actual view at that size, so you may want to
consider designing for 800 x 600 (750-760 pixel wide).

Example I use 1280 x 1024 but have my browser window at about 800 pixels wide.

Hi Thomas.....thank you for the response. So I should design in 800x600? I
understand where you are coming form, but why is it that in the preview view
the formatting is totally off from the design view? Wouldn't you think that
the way you design it, the way it looks in the preview mode? Am I missing
something here? Can you give me more direction?

Thank you

Yes.

Preview and Design view mode are not full implementation of the IE browser.

So if my settings are 1261x799 on my 19" monitor, do I change the page size
under
"view" to 800x600 and design my site in that setting?

oh yea, another question.......how do I publish my site so no matter what
display setting people are using, the site alligns with the screen properly?
I have had different monitors in the past 15", 17" and 19" and I when I go to
any website (other than mine) no matter what my pixel settings are the web
always looks alligned and proper form a formatt point of view. Is that
becasue all sites are designed in 800x600 normally and if someone has a
higher dispaly setting the screen automatically adjusts to the larger size? I
am sorry for the newbie question, but i am very new to web design. Thank you

I use tables, center on the page/screen and set to a fixed pixel width of 750. I place all of my
content within this table.

Yes but change the default 800x600 to a custom size of say 760x520
