I am new to FS and cannot solve this problem. It is clear
that I need to design my pages for 800 x 600 but the
default is much larger and requires horizontal scrolling
to view. Can anyone tell me how to setup FP2002 for
design in this page resolution?
 
You don't really setup web pages for screen sizes because HTMl doesn't have
any definitions for how to set the screen size of a page. What you need to
do is work with tables that will be the neccessary width. A web page
shouldn't really target 800 pixels wide because the browser actually uses
some of the space on the sides. Better to target about 750 pixels or so.

Hope this helps,

On a fresh new page start with a table of 1 column, 1 row, no borders, no
padding, no spacing and in the middle of the page. Set the table width to
750 pixels. Then you can put all the content within that table.... even
other tables. Be sure that none of your graphics or photos etc. are not
wider than about 740.

The following works well for me using FP2000. For an approximate
simulation of what your final web page will look like on a monitor set
to 800 x 600 resolution do the following. In page view click File >
Preview in browser. Click the 800 x 600 radio button and when you
preview your page the browser will open just wide enough to show the
page in 800 x 600 resolution without horizontal scroll bars, even if
your monitor is set to a higher resolution. The vertical scroll is
not so accurate but that is much easier to live with. On an 800 x 600
resolution monitor you can get away with a page width of 768 pixels as
long as you set the left and right hand margins to zero: Right click
in page view and select page properties, click margins and specify 0
pixels for both options.
