Archived from groups: microsoft>public>publisher>webdesign (more info?) |

I am designing and posting my first website. I am using MS Publisher
and am uploading files to a godaddy hosted domain. The problem I am
experiencing is when viewing the website the body is all the way to
right and I have to scroll over to get to the center. I have
downloaded an html editor (and used word pad) to try and center the
page where it's supposed to be, but I am not getting anywhere. I have
only a vague notion of the html language. Could someone please explain
why my pages in MS Pub cannot be automatically aligned and perhaps a
detailed script and method for editing my htm files to get them in the
right postion.
Thanks in advance for your help |

Understanding background padding in a Publisher web (aka white space) :

Don will be along with a workaround for some versions of Publisher. Which
version are you using?

The workaround that Don has works only for versions up through 2002. Sorry.

dunno about publisher, but if you use nvu or mozilla editor, you puth
the content in a table, set the table attributes(i.e. width, height etc)
and then select the table alignment as centerwill give you something
like this:

Here the webpage is all the way to the left, a Publisher norm. The only
Publisher website that I know of that can be centered is one created with
Publisher 2000, i.e. www.vanusa.org.

The following might give you a workaround. My problem was the webpage was flush left in the browser, not flush right.
I stumbled upon it by clicking around Publisher 2003 (as a precaution, before trying this, rename your web layout file so your current version remains intact):
1- Click File, then Page Setup.
2- Under Layout, select Custom.
3- In the Width box, enter a horizontal measurement that is wider than your current setting. (This is trial and error; I changed my width from 8 inches to 10 inches.)
4- Now group the design elements in your web page and move them to the right (see next steps), so that the right edge of the layout touches the right edge of the enlarged white work area (in my case, it’s the 10-inch mark).
5- To group, hold down the Shift key, click the elements, then click Arrange, then Group. (Do just a few elements to test the centeredness in Steps 6-8, then do the rest of the layout/pages.)
6- To move a group, hover your cursor over the boundary of a group until you see the omnidirectional arrow symbol. Click and drag the group until the right boundary touches the right edge.
7- Now ungroup the elements so the layout can be seen on the web. To ungroup, click anywhere in the group, then click Arrange and select Ungroup.
8- Check the result by clicking File, then Web Page Preview. Adjust the page width if needed, move the elements again, then try viewing again.
This is kind of tedious, but it works. Here's my now-centered website: www.cumberlandumcflorence.org. |
