runaway margins

My problem: I create a document in Word, looks fine. I cut and paste it into
FrontPage and the margins are too wide. How can I squeeze those margins
back in?

word is for print and FrontPage is for the web. with print it's easier to
set a margin because paper is a known size. not so with a monitor or the
size of the browser window within the monitor itself.

you can set your margins through the FrontPage interface by selecting page
properties/ margins but to tell you how to get the exact effect you want
we'd need to see the page and get a better explination of margins such as
which page elements, top, left, right, bottom margin, etc.

Set the margins in frontpage to whatever you want. Right-click the page, select
Page Properties, then Margins. Set the margins as you wish.

www.jimcoaddins.com (I think that address is correct) has an add-in to set the
page margins to pages easily, it inserts the code for both Internet Explorer and
Netscape in the <body> tag (where Frontapge on its own only insert the margins
code for IE eg "leftmargin", "topmargin" versus "marginwidth" and "marginheight"
for Netscape.

Anyway, copy and pasting from Word to Frontpage will always lose any formatting
including but not limited to margins, font size, line spacing etc because
Frontpage is not a word processor and does not format pages the same as word
does. Word is primarily a word processor for printing documents, where Frontpage
is a tool for creating online documents.

You might export the word doc to HTML and then import it into frontpage - this
might save your settings....

someone posted a really good way to clean up the word stuff. you drag the
word doc from an outside folder and drop it onto a blank page in FrontPage.
it's quick and works fairly well.
