How do I make a web page appear as large as screen when uploaded?

I created a web page with Publisher. How can I make it appear to take up all
available screen space when it is accessed on the web? Thanks.

Actually, you can. At least with Publisher 2000. I do it everyday of the
week. The technique consists of setting the page format to a specific
resolution setting, i.e.: 800x600 pixels for 15" monitors (currently in
decline), or 1024x768 pixels for 17" monitors (pretty much universal these
days), or other settings for larger monitors.

As to the measurements... well, that's a trade secret, but with trial and
error you'll eventually get it right. You can even make a web page
accommodate more than one resolution setting.

You'd be amazed at what Publisher 2000 can do with a little resourcefulness;
things that Microsoft people in these epistles consistantly claim cannot be
done. It leaves those in-line editors like DreamWeaver, GoLive, and the rest
of it for dead. I find they're too slow and too cumbersome to use in a
professional environment.

Your site's width is setup with the Page setup in Publisher and it is
displayed on my 19" monitor (1152x864) with a +/- 1.5" space on the right
and on my laptop (800x600) requires horizontally scrolling. I don't think
you can claim page width settings as a secret.

A lot of action on that site; outstanding graphics.

Rob,
As you can read on the foot panel, the site is optimised for resolution
setting 1280 x 768 and it will have a lot of room at the right for smaller
resolution down to 1280 x 1024, BUT NO WHITE SPACE.
 
G

Geoffrey

Don,
Yes there is space on the right, BUT NO WHITE SPACE.
The pages are optimised for 1024 x 768, therefore horizontal scrolling is
inevitable in 800 x 600. They are left justified because some of the graphics
imposed it.

I'm sure they do. I am just not a fan of black backgrounds and lots of
moving, twirling, twinkling things. I like a cleaner simpler page where I
can easily find what I'm looking for. I kind of doubt that a site for
something Karaoke-related is a site that I would access. There ain't enough
booze in the US to get me drunk enough to make that big of an ass of myself.
I sing in my car often - but rarely ever if I am not alone. ;-)

JoAnn my darlink! I agree with you 100% After waiting a couple of weeks for
the site to load at dialup speed, I got motion sickness trying to look at it on
my 800x600 17 inch monitor. I am not as polite as you are...it sucks big time!
And our friend lost me when he started talking about trade secrets. We share
technical information here; we don't act smarter than thou.
 
A

analog

If you use some kind of tiling graphic for a background, I think it will tile
across the screen no matter the resolution. It gives the illusion that the page
fills an oversized screen better than it really does (depending on the pattern).
A publisher page formatted for high resolution will of course take scrolling to
view on a lower resolution monitor. That is arguably more annoying than the
alternative. The magic this lad has figured out is old hat to Publisher users
who struggle daily with kludges and tricks to make things look half decent. The
real question is when the hell is M$ going to fix Publisher.
