Hello,

I have several text boxes on each page of my publisher 2003 document, the
text is a different size and font between some text boxes, but within each
individual text box is the same. The layout boxes do not overlap each other
and there are a few graphics on the page, but those layout boxes do not
overlap either. After converting to a web-page, the text at the bottom of
the text boxes is missing.

If i leave 1 or 2 blank lines at the bottom of each text box I can get the
missing text to display on the website, but this causes the publisher file to
look odd because of all the extra blank lines.

I have experimented with different fonts & sizes but with no success.

thanks,

phill

It is typical to have to tweak text and text boxes, that's what makes web
preview useful. Though instead of adding line breaks you should be able to
slightly resize the text box to get the full text to not cut off.

Hello,

I can understand some tweaking, but the difference is excessive, as I
mentioned in the email, there is a large amount of white space in the
publisher file, compared to the web-page. I had to put the extra space to
get all the text to show for the website.

with some experiementing, I have discovered that the majority of the
difference seems to come from using auto-flow, which automatically is invoked
when pasting a large amount of text into a text box. Something happens that
causes the difference between the publisher file and web-page to become
extreme. Turning off autoflow did not solve the problem, I had to recreate
the text boxes and paste the correct amount of text into the text box.

then there is still some minor difference, but not as extreme as when the
autoflow was automatically invoked. it might be a bug.

Auto flow is for print publications, don't use that in a web publication.

I would suspect in your case you are also experiencing some layout design
misunderstandings. When a browser renders page content the content of a cell
may adjust to balance the content of it's neighboring cells.

If you need some advice in this area you can send your pub file to
pubs@davidbartosik.com and I'll review and make recommendations.
