I have my website finished in Pub. 2007 and the page parameters set to the
correct size according to the ruler on screen, but it still comes up in both
preview and published windows with a large amount of empty space on the right
hand side.

I wanted to scale it but I'd settle for just having it centered.
Anyone know how to do this?

cyndi,

3 out of the last 6 posts answers your question. Please take a few minutes
and read before asking the question a 4th time.

Yeah - I'm new to the forum and upon asking my question initially none of
these threads were visible to me.  I was immediately routed to a sign up
page. Clearly had I been able to view this page I would not have continued to
reiterate the same question.

OK...thanks for the explanation. What site did you access the newsgroup
with? Excuse my expression, but it sucks!

If you anticipate having other questions, or even want to learn some of the
other FAQs, setup Outlook Express as your newsreader. This forum or
newsgroup, is microsoft.public.publisher.webdesign under
msnews.microsoft.com . Or even Google groups is better than what you
described:
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.publisher.webdesign/topics

If you get in a bind, don't let my first response turn you off to the point
you don't ask a question. Under these circumstances it was just a bit much
to have the same question asked for the 4th time.

David,

They need a "sticky post," one that always is visible and in color so
visitors can see it!

Yeah, but in this case it sounds like you have to post your question, before
you can read any of the previous answers...that is what needs to be fixed.

use a newsreader (like OE)...most web interfaces to Usenet suck.

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.  View my site at
www.thepuppydepotonline.com and see for yourself.  I do not use HTML editor
when Publisher writes it for me.  Only on occasion do I insert HTML code
fragment.  I have been using Publisher for over ten years.

veteran user,

The question is how to center the content regardless of the resolution of
the monitor used to view the site. Your method will result in the user
having to scroll horizontally if the viewer has their resolution set at 800,
and certainly won't be centered at 1920. In fact, your method will not
center the content at any standard resolution.

I forgot to mention, you will need to move your information on the
publication page over from the left margin to fill in some of the "empty
space" on the right.  When you do a webpage preview you can see how you need
to adjust your web page.  I hope this helps you.  :~)
