A common complaint among customers
(http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30) is the white space they
see padded on the right of their site in the browser. This is a knowledge
issue not a Publisher issue.
It is normal site design behavior. For example refer to http://www.oprah.com
and http://www.cnn.com and http://www.realsimple.com
While there are techniques (not supported in Publisher) to code that normal
behavior 'out', the more common technique is to "fool the eye" so to speak,
should the designer not like the white padding. For example refer to
http://www.msn.com - in this example you can see the background has simply
been changed from white to blue. The padding is still there, it's just a
different perception.
This technique can be employed in Publisher. For example this site done in
version 2002 SP3 - http://www.dogwoodindustries.com/
Here the background was set to color and a textbox drawn on the page and set
to white to serve as the "content holder". I encourage all customers to surf
the web reviewing professional commercial sites and to pay close attention
to the design of the sites.
