MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / November 2007How to center a web page on the monitor vs. left aligned?
I'd like to create web pages, with Publisher 2007, that are centered on the monitors of visitors, rather than having it left aligned on the monitor. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you! -Bonnie You can't. Publisher 2007 only creates left aligned websites.

I don't like the answer - because I like looking at pages that are centered on the monitor, and "assume" that others also prefer that. You have saved me a lot of time and mental effort! I can now stop trying to figure-out that issue. Do you know of any other simple web design programs I might try? I've tried Dreamweaver. With my limited time to learn, it is a bit too complex for my needs. Again, thank you very much! -Bonnie > You can't. > Publisher 2007 only creates left aligned websites.

Harvey Mackay, author ============================== This works only for websites created with Publisher 2000 & 2002. Each of your html files requires adding the <center> code after the existing </head> code. You can go into each html file and do it manually or get the free ReplaceInfiles program and make it an easy chore. "ReplaceInFiles" can be downloaded from: <http://www.emurasoft.com/index.htm> The four boxes require the following information: Find: </head> Replace with: </head> <center> File Types: *.html In Folder: (use the button to go to the folder where the html files are located on your drive) The bottom four boxes can be left blank. Note: Once the boxes are filled out and the "Replace all" is selected, the entries are retained for the next time you use the program. Don ------ Vancouver, USA P.S. One of the kind visitors of this news group told us of ReplaceInfiles program some time ago; 'Sorry I forgot the individual's name. (Another unsung hero). > Rob, thank you so much for your reply!

Don, One of my staff, who takes care of Classified advertising and other chores, has eyeballs issued in 1922. Believe it or not, she doesn't wear glasses anymore. She had cataract surgery a few years ago and has not needed them since. Mike > Using legacy eyeballs here; issued in August, 1931.

Bonnie, Take a look at Serif's WebPlus. It does what you need (plus a whole lot more!) and is not unlike Pub as far as the interface and how things are done. You can download an old version free of charge at http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/ It's light years behind WP10, and not worth using (IMO), but the lovely Natasha will soon send you a fantastic deal on the latest version within a couple of weeks of you registering the product. Mike > Rob, thank you so much for your reply! It absolutely answered my question. > I don't like the answer - because I like looking at pages that are centered [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >>| Thank you! >>| -Bonnie Open Publisher and go to File, Page setup. Here you have two options: using Custom feature where you can change the width and height of your webpage, or select webpage and change the width. I use a width 1000px and height 4608px. Changing the width will give you the ability to center your page. You can go wider if you need to. Just keep in mind that you do NOT want to make the webpage so that a user has to scroll over to read all of it. In Publisher the height is not a significant measure because whatever you put on your page, the last amount of information will end the page when you publish it. Another reminder; do not make your pages too long for the same reason--users don't need to scroll forever to see your site. The auto hyperlink features makes it easy to maneuver through your site in Publisher. On your design page, move your information from the left side of the page and use your web preview to see how it is aligning. Hope this helps. > I'd like to create web pages, with Publisher 2007, that are centered on the > monitors of visitors, rather than having it left aligned on the monitor.

Except for Pub 2002, all versions of Publisher truncates the html page after the last design element, regardless of how long the publication page is. At least this is true in FireFox, Opera and IE.
