Centering Web Pages
Does Microsoft Plan on making any changes to this feature? I am really
disappointed. I have used other products that were easier to use and don't have this problem. I have spent several days builing a site that looks stupid all shoved to the left. -- 2parrots |

Please understand that Publisher is a desktop publishing program first and
foremost. You're taking advantage of an additional capability. If you're looking for a program that's easier to use for websites, consider FrontPage.

Centering Web Pages
Then you're gonna be really really disappointed when you discover how html
works. Pub is designed for dtp not web publishing although it can do simple webs...and Excel can export html and so can Word but they are not the tools for developing websites. You may want to look at FrontPage to develop webs, but you're still gonna need to have a basic understanding of how html & css work...in other words theres a little bit of a learning curve especially coming from paper-thinking.

Nope to your question. As for your disappointment, I have to point out that
I got so tired of customers complaining about Publisher using the most common design layout that I wrote an article on it.

Centering Web Pages
You can center but it's a bit ugly. I've done it in the past and most
recently at http://www.iinet.com/~k1294lodge/ In order to center the site you need to edit all the html files associated with the website. Hardly worth the effort if you edit the site often. -- Don Vancouver, USA "2 parrots" wrote in message ... Does Microsoft Plan on making any changes to this feature? I am really disappointed.

Read that and learn why we don't design pages in FP. |

Centering Web Pages
I am in the process of creating a web page using Publisher and was
encountering the same problem of everything being at the left. After talking to a friend who has her own web site using Publisher, I found out how to make everything centered. I had to start from scratch, but on a new blank web page, I selected Page Setup. Under Page Width, I selected Custom and played with the numbers until I liked what I saw. My dimensions are currently 10" for Width and 20" for Height. Now, I haven't published my site to the internet yet, but when I hit Web Page Preview, everything is centered. It also appears that when you Insert, Pages After the first, they retain the Custom dimensions. Hope this helps! If not, please don't criticize - I'm in no way a fountain of computer knowledge...just passing along some info I hope can help others.
