Problems viewing pages between IE7 and FireFox

[BABs]

I am using Publisher 2007 and sent out an index.html file for my colleages to
review before posting. Everything looks fine to me in IE7. Everything looks
fine to a coworker using FireFox, but when he switches to view the page in
IE7, the lines and scrolling text on my page are moved out of lline.
Any ideas why this happens?
TIA

If you're using the depreciated (years ago) html marquee tags...don't - it
was never a real tag and its amazing that it still works sometimes.

Try using javascript marquee instead, maybe something like this;

Rob,
Thx, but that tag worked as well as my original one. I see them both fine
but another colleague of mine using the same build of IE7 as me, sees the
marquee and lines moved down and to the right of where they should be. I'm
thinking that maybe this is a setting on their computer for IE7 and not
something with Publisher.
Any ideas?

Thx again.

most likely it is not something with Publisher...correct.

Once you have the site uploaded, post a link to it and we will try to help.
It is total guess work until we can see it.

Here is the link: www.northamericanreserve.com
The scrolling text should be centered in the white area below the heading.
Please keep in mind that this is my first try at web page design, so be
gentle, but give me any tips that you might have (i.e. some viewers see the
page expanded to fit the screen and some see it small and in the top left
corner of their browser and others see it at 75% screen area?).
Thanks.

Boss commented, had to take the marquee off and used static text instead, but
please check the site anyway and give me feedback. I had tried "old school"
html for the marquee, then tried the fragment that Rob suggested, and even
tried puttting a normal text box in and then editing the html file with
<marquee> before and after the text. They all scrolled just fine, but on
certain computers the whole block would move out of line, down and to the
right. No idea why.

Seems like we're still having a problem with lines and text moving between
FireFox and IE, aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
Help please.............

Check the size of the text. IE can reformat non integer text to an integer
size, FF does not. Try using an integer size and see if that brings the IE
and FF displays to look alike.
