MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / June 2007Layout problems
I am having problems with text layout on my site. In Publisher the main text box ends at the bottom of the text and then has the bottom menu bar / additional boxes immediately below it. However when I publish to the web I get an area of 'white space' below the text - I have checked the html (although I am no expert) and the size / positioning / font size all seems the same, and opening the html with something like NVu suggests that the box is the right size, but the text is wrong. This is backed up by the fact that the more text that appears on a page, the bigger the amount of space. It's a bit hard to explain, but hopefully some examples will help: http://www.roffensian.com - the home page has a small amount of space that shouldn't be there - underneath the word President and before the horizontal line. http://www.roffensian.com/index_files/Page581.htm - has much more text and the space is much larger - below evolution and above the horizontal line. Can anyone suggest why this is happening? Thanks, Andy Both look very good here; I'm using Outlook Express 6.  SignatureDon Vancouver, USA >I am having problems with text layout on my site.

Line spacing is 114% with 9 point between paragraphs. Thanks, Andy > Andy, > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > > > Andy Andy, Have you tried changing the line spacing to 100 percent and checking it? And instead of using 9 points between paragraphs just trying a simple CR (an extra Enter)? The web, by its nature, is simply not the same as paper publishing. That's one of the problems using a program that is designed for DTP as a web design program. You can do it, but there are differences!

While the Publisher document shows a text size of 11, it downsizes the 11 pt font to 10 when you produce the html. If you use 13, it would be reduced to 12. I would suggest change the font size to 12 and do a web page preview, and see if you like that size vs. 10. (My olderer eyes prefer 12, but that's me.) Then resize the text box to accommodate size 10 or 12, adjust the layout, and do a web preview.

It would never work to publish because 1 line spacing is too compressed - it overlaps capitals and characters with tails (g, p, y, etc). It doesn't make any noticeable difference - the space seemed slightly smaller, but nothing significant. I can confirm it's definitely something related to the font though - the word wrap on the preview is different from the word wrap in preview - i.e. more characters per line in web preview than in Publisher. I guess that I can solve the problem by deliberately overlapping the text boxes in Publisher until they look right on hte web, but it seems a rather amateur fix.

Find a way to work around that...perhaps using multiple text boxes, and perhaps you will get your solution. But...it is a fact that Publisher will downsize the odd number font sizes, so plan accordingly.
