Web Page Preview

[GMAC]

I am creating a website in Publisher, but when I click on web page preview it
looks completely different. All of my data, photos, etc. are out of
allignment. Shouldn't the web preview look just like the document I am
creating? How can I fix it?

This could be caused by any number of things. Probably the first thing to do
is to run the Design Checker and let Publisher troubleshoot itself.

Some things you can do in a print document do not work in a web document.
Generally avoid tabs, indents, bullets and such within a text box...they can
produce strange results in a web document. Limit yourself to font formatting
in general. If you are using the insert html code fragment feature, make
sure the box is large enough, and placed correctly...can shift other
elements around if not. Move the different design elements on your page
around, avoid overlapping, and experiment until you get what you want. Also
under IE, go to View > Text Size and choose Medium for design purposes and
try the different text sizes to see how they affect the text boxes in your
Pub doc.

If you have more specifics, post back.
