Liz4.0,

I guess it depends on what you are describing. This wasn't absolutely clear
in the original post either.

Pub 2003 and 2007 have basically the same html coding engine, with some
tweaks. 2007 has been improved in a number of ways, but the way it renders
text is much the same. If you view a Publisher built web page with a dial-up
modem, as the page loads, the text can seem to come out of and down from the
left upper corner, and then shift down to the proper place on the page. With
a slow dial-up connection this can be a bit disconcerting, but the reality
is that text loads pretty quickly and efficiently. With a broadband
connection it is hardly noticeable. I guess I don't really see it a being a
problem functionally, and few people have expressed a problem with it
aesthetically.

Will this be changed? I don't know where the next version of Publisher will
take us. We have asked for an improved html coding engine, but not so much
for this reason. Whether we see it, no one knows at this point, but don't
expect to see any radically different updates in Pub 2007.

Now if you are describing something different, post a link to the page in
question, and describe in more detail what the issue is, and we will revisit
your question.
