In Publisher how do I remove the absoute postioning

[Level15]

In the godaddy free hosting pages they have a line of free ads at the top.
This conflicts with my code written in Publisher and all my layout gets
shifted to the right.

Apparently I have to remove the absolute postioning setting in publisher.

Any constructive advice appreciated

I found this workaround posted some time ago by Troy:

David - I found this workaround that seems to work pretty well:

Instructions for publishing to an ad-supported free web site through GoDaddy
using MS Publisher


1. Publish website to folder on local computer first
2. Open "index.html" in browser window
3. Under the "Page" pulldown menu, select "View Source." This displays a
..txt file, showing the html code.
4. Using find & replace (under the "edit" menu), search for the first
instance of the word, "absolute" in the html code, and replace it with the
word "relative."
5. This process must be repeated for each page individually, by navigating
to each locally-published page from within a web browser, viewing the source
html code, replacing the first instance of "absolute" with "relative," then
saving the file before navigating to the next page.
6. Once finished making changes, the locally saved "index.htm" file and
accompanying folder must be copied and pasted, via ftp client to your
GoDaddy
website, and "voila," you should be up and running!"

------------

Editing the code is all you can do, and that is going to get old real fast I
would imagine. So my best advice is to pay for hosting...its not that much.

David,

Will ReplaceInFiles program make this chore tolerable?

Hi Don,

I don't think so, as there are more than one instances of "absolute" in the
code on each page, but it is possible I suppose. You might be able to find
something unique about the first instance and use that with ReplaceInFiles.
