Hello all.....

This is a great newsgroup and I'm really grateful for the help I've gotten.
I've mostly done dreamweaver work and I've suddenly had FP thrust upon me
with little time to play with.

When you draw a table in FP it appears to be flush left, for example, and in
preview mode it appears to be flush left but when you view it online there
is all this space on the left. My first guess was to put the table in
"float" but that did not solve the problem.

How do I get at all that unused space?

I am really under a huge gun to get this project done and again, I'm
grateful for any help. Thanks.

Table properties, set alignment, not float values.
Make sure you haven't use any of the alignment button in the menu.

Also to have the table fill the width of the screen, set the table width
properties to a %, such as 100% and any cells in the table need to equal
100% of the table width.

Example:

80% width table
1 row/1 column cell, set to 100%

Click to expand...

Change your <body> tag to:

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

You can set topmargin="0" and leftmargin="0" by choosing
Properties from the File menu, and then clicking the
Margins tab. However, you need all four attributes shown
above to get rid or margins in all versions of Netscape.

Thanks Thomas and Jim!

With much appreciation....... Tom Gahagan

P,s,,, Thomas...... In a previous reply to you I mentioned.... "That is why
they pay you the big bucks" I received a reply correcting me that you don't
get paid. ( lol )

Of course, I understood that at the time! It was meant as a joke but I often
forget that when online words can be misunderstood. So then, if any offence
was taken, please accept my apology. I am VERY grateful for the help.
 
Tom,

No problem, I was not offended in any way.
