Frontpage 2003 page size problem

H

hBc

Greetings all,
I'm having a problem when I try to resize the page i'm working on. I'll go
to view>page size>select my size and this doesn't seem to work. It'll bring
up big blue boxes on the side and mess the whole page design up. It's pretty
much changing it to what size it wants which is 1005xsomething.. any ways to
get the size I want? Never had this problem before. Thanks in advance.

Click the page size display in the status bar, where it says 1005 x 544
and then select "Modify page sizes"

Modify it to the size you want.
Keep in mind though, the default sizes that you see are intentional in order to compensate
for scroll bars, menus and status bars in the browser window.

Setting an odd size to design too can cause problems when people view your pages,
such as unnecessary scroll bars.

Page size does not change or reformat the page to the size you want. It
simply shows you what the page looks like at that size.

You have to decide what resolution you want to design for, then lay out your
page accordingly using fixed width tables or css.

The thing is, it won't change and when it does it's still leaving it as that
same size once it's saved and so on, basically, I can't get out of 1005x548
page size for some reason. I've tried to modify and everything and it won't
work. MS Frontpage 2003 worked great last night then this morning it's doing
this, any other solution? If nothing else thanks for taking the time to try
and help me.

I've done that bro, nothing seems to be working. I can get a few screen shots
later on if that'll be helpful here.
