Web Page layout question

[David]

I've used Page Setup Layout Web Page Normal. In creating a page I have to
arrange text boxes and pictures beyond the page (white area with blue line
border extending over to ivory colored backdrop) in order to have it
displayed correctly both in Web Page preview and once posted to Web. It seems
to look fine with my Browser (not sure how it looks to others). The problem
is when I insert a text box or picture I must have at least a small portion
of it on the white part of the page or it (that text box or picture) won't
display at all. There appears to be plenty of room and if I just get a little
of the text box on the white it displays. Am I missing something?

Second question / point. I saw others had trouble with publishing web page
because index home page gets created in a sub folder. I just inserted a
duplicate home page and it seems to work. Any drawbacks to this?

If you need a wider page, then go to page setup and choose a wider page
default, or create a custom page, but don't let your content overlap into
the scratch area. It will create problems. Or better yet, change your design
so it will fit a 760 pixels width page, which is better for the web anyway.
Print media is different than Web media.

Yes, there is a problem with your work flow. Publisher by default produces
both an index.htm file and an index_files folder that contain the other
pages in your site, plus all the supporting graphics. It doesn't put the
index.htm file...your home page in the subfolder. You will upload both the
index.htm and the index_files folder intact.

In the future, please post your web related questions to the web group:
microsoft.public.publisher.webdesign and we will try to help you there.
Thanks.
