Worked on page in Design View with text and photo reductions , switched to
Preview, it is blank. Help please. I know nothing of codes.

Using FP 2003. Web-site address http://lanaichc.org if you click on
"Historical Overview of Lanai" you will see a blank page, this is the one
we're having problems with.

Appreciate any advice as long it is not too complicated as I am just learning.
 
Delete the conditional comments
<!--[if gte mso 9]> and <[endif]--> from the page.
These require the user to have office 2000, 2002 or 2003 installed
before they can view the page. It also prevents browsers other than IE
being used.

Find an alternative to absolute positioning (layers) On my 1024px wide
monitor, even at full screen, the layers are overlapping each other
making the home page difficult to read. Tables are a good alternative.
Also, the space bar should not be used for page layout - spaces are
different sizes in different browsers which means each browser renders a
different layout.
 
Aloha--I will look for codes you spoke of in "code view." Hope I can find it,
will let you know. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

We took text from MS word file, copied and pasted into FP. Took a lot of
time setting in layers and adding photographs into the FP process.

Thank you again.

The page displays now, not sure it that's what you mean it look like
though.

Aloha -- It worked, I removed the code and the page is now showing. Thanks so
much. Now I need to figure out how to fix the layes so it won't be
overlapping. Thank you also for the tip on not using space bars. Are tables
difficult to use?

MS Word is great at creating a document but not at all good creating
HTML from that document. I'd suggest not using it to create HTML.

If you must use it to lay down your text, copy the text, paste it into
Notepad or another text editor (removes Word formatting), then
copy/paste the text into your page in FP.

No, tables are not that hard to use.

Copy the "<!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]-->" from here.

With the page open in FP, in code view (or HTML view), hit control-F
to "find", paste the copied text into the find box, hit Find.

Do the same for "<![endif]-->"

Tables are usually easy.

Take a piece of paper and sketch your page layout, using
square/rectangles for each object (block of text, image etc.) where you
want it on the page. Then draw a grid around the objects, so each object
goes into one cell of the grid. That grid is the basic table.
