Pages in this site donot "reduce" when one reduces the window...need that to
happen...
any help out there? I know this question is probably so RANK with NOVICE
written all over it, and know it's probably been answered before, but I
cannot find it in this forum.

please help...is it a setting I need to change in page properties?

Thanks
Gloria
 
I CAN minmize them and change the window size if that's what you mean.

FYI: You may want to re-design the page layout to prevent the need for
horizontal scrolling (for most users).

To follow up on the reply by p c
When I open the site, there are scroll bars for both directions. Sure, I can
also minimze and resize, but the images and text don't reduce to fit the
smaller page - it just cuts off the page - you then need to scroll to see
the rest. I use 1024x768 so the page must be designed for larger than this,
perhaps 1280x1024

I am sure that this what pc means about re-designing the page. It is too
large.
 
That's what I mean, the page is too large. WHERE do I place the info to make
it 1024 x 768? I know it's too large now. I need to make it smaller so
viewers w/smaller screens, etc. can view it w/ minimum scrolling.
thanks

Gloria,
I apologise for not giving enough information.

You can specify the body size in CSS

Add this to the <head> section, i.e. between <head> and </head>
<style type="text/css">
body {width:1024px ; height:768px; }
</style>

It may be useful to make these dimensions a liitle bit smaller to allow for
scroll bars, etc. Anyway try this as a start

Many have recommended making the width no more than 740. It will then be OK
for those using 800*600 and for others, it will centre in the screen.
 
Thank you so much Trevor, thanks for taking the time to explain...a million
THANKS

I have tried what you said, Trevor, but it still does not work, the only
thing that moves is the Page Banner.
Thanks for any all sugesstions, I am using a theme page
 
Gloria,
I have deleted the earlier parts of the thread, so I can't refer back to
them unless I go to the MS website.

So I can't remember - did you post a reference to your site, i.e. a URL (as
in my signature) ?
If not, can you do so?

Using a theme page means that I (or anyone else on the NG trying to asisst)
would need to see what it is. I don't use them, but I think they are usually
CSS and its name will be in the <head> section of the page - hence the need
to sight the URL.
