MS Office Forum / Word / Web Authoring / June 2004frames resizing when window resizes
I have a web page that I am creating through MS-Word (XP), and I want the frames that I am creating to be a static size regardless of the window size. When the window resizes in word and IE, the frames resize with them. Does anyone know how to set a frame to a fixed size that will not resize when the window resizes?

Thanks, Marc Here's a google groups referecne: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=frames%2Bsize&start=30&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm =01bbe7c2%24a6e640c0%24226df482%40WIN95.SWIPNET.SE&rnum=37 the remainder of that search result: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=frames%2Bsize&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search Hi Marc, When doing this within Word it's going to depend on what you mean about limiting a resize on whether it's doable from the Word interface. If you're building a frames page from Format=>Frames then when you have the Frames toolbar click on the 'Properties' icon while your cursor is in the frame you want to set a size for and (a) set the width in terms of inches/cm etc rather than the default percentage and then (b) in that Properties dialog go to the Borders tab and uncheck the [ ] Frame is Resizable in Browser control. If the size of the Window in the browser becomes less than the size of the 'don't shrink' frame, it will then shrink but other wise it should hold it's width. ===== I have a web page that I am creating through MS-Word (XP), and I want the frames that I am creating to be a static size regardless of the window size.

Thanks, Marc >> Define your FRAMESET in PIXELS http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/frames/frameset.html this page has many sub-links to provide explanation and depth to what I have below. The example on this page give percentages in the COLS and ROWS use pixels instead. I have no clue as to you frameset layout? If two cols and you desire an overall 640 than you split the pixel sizes to LESS than the overall size, POSSIBLY due to the cell spacing that has been defined in the frames. Your going to need to play with this, till you find an effective solution to what you desire. <FRAMESET ROWS="480" COLS="200,440"> It may or may not work. My experience with frames is very limited. Overall they are not advisable due to how easy it is to view the individual frame pages out of the design you intend (at least for the knowing.) For those "not in the know" they find it most difficult to bookmark and individual page are in most instances are required to re-navigate your entry page. Hi Marc, When you uncheck the [x] Resize Frames in Browser property setting what you're disabling is the ability of the user to drag the divider between the frames to make one relatively wider than another frame. the other. The user still has the ability to resize their browser window as they do other windows in Windows and the frame/page will resize. You may be able to use fixed width tables within a frame or replace the use of frames with tables in a single page to get closer to what you're looking for from within Word. Issues though with fixed width tables can include the problem that what looks okay in one screen resolution can look rather 'unfinished' in another. ======== > If the size of the Window in the browser becomes less than > the size of the 'don't shrink' frame, it will then shrink > but other wise it should hold it's width.
