MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / November 2005My form control page gets messed up in web page preview
Hi , I am using MS Office 2003 and used publisher to design website. Everything looks fine in normal view but when I preview as a web page, my forms get messed up and no matter what i try I cant seem to resolve it. It took me about a week or more to design this site and am loathe to have to do it all over again. My forms and labels are not locked, I am using an LCD display (Dell 6000laptop) with 1680x1050 display. Ive never had this problem with Publisher 98. Do I have to do over this entire website using 98??? Ive tried following the advice on this message board on other posts but it doesnt seem to help. I originally started doing the site on another computer a desktop with more normal resoloution but when i switched to the laptop the version of Pub. changed (desktop had 2000). Please give me some advice, Thanks.  SignatureDavid Jaggernauth I'd suspect that monitor resolution is giving you that result. Publisher 2003 (and 2002) use CSS2 absolute and relative positioning which hardcodes the physical placement of the web page contents in pixels by their x and y coordinates. I think some of these odd ball resolutions skew such placement. You want to view the site in a monitor with a traditional resolution and see what it does. You should post the url of a site in question so it can be reviewed, but you didn't, so I can't. Versions 98 and 2000 used traditional html and so the results would be totally different.

Thanks for your reply, it was helpful even though I havent solved the problem. I havent posted the site yet because I needed to back up the old site in case I have to replace it. As soon as I post it I will let you know, then you can have a look. If I transfer the Publisher file to the desktop it wont open because it has Publisher 2000 not 2003 and I dont know if there is any way to revert to the old version.

Hi, I've finally uploaded the site and everything looks ok on every other computer except my laptop. I guess this means that people with computers with displays like mine will not be able to view this website properly. I will have to put a note on the site saying so. Is there any way to fix this issue?? Updates ? Upgrades ? If I design a new website using Front Page, will I get the same problem? There is an option in Front Page to select CSS or de-select it, would de-selecting it make any difference? You can view my site here: http://www.secucredituniontt.com/ Thanks. David J.
