Why does IE 6 display web pages produced by Publisher incorrectly
I have a Dell 6000 Inspiron with a 15.4" screen (Windows XP and Office 2003).
I am using MS Publisher 2003 to build a Web site. When I use IE 6 to view the site the contents are sretched and generally displayed incorrectly. However when I view the same site with Mozilla Firefox the site is dispayed perfectly. Changing the screen resolution has no effect. I suspect the problem is with the monitor size (15.4"). It appears IE is trying to stretch the page contents to fit the width of the screen. |

Why does IE 6 display web pages produced by Publisher incorrectly
JoAnn Paules [MSFT MVP] was very recently heard
to utter: Because Publisher and IE are both Microsoft products. JoAnn, I think you've misread the post. The page displays correctly in non-MS browsers but incorrectly in IE. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher |

Why does IE 6 display web pages produced by Publisher incorrec
JoAnn, Please see Ed Bennet's meesage. I think you may have misread my
problem. The web site I produce with Publisher 2003 is displayed correctly with non MS Browser products (Firefox in my case), but is not dislayed correctly with IE? Publisher and IE are both Microsfot products. IE on my Dell 6000 (XP) with 15.4" screen displays pages produced by Pblisher incorrectly. This is the same machine I use to generate pages with Publisher. I now have to set FireFox as my default browser in order to view and test the pages Publisher creates. I would rather use IE.

If multi-browser functionality is important to you, then you need to reconsider the software you use to create your website. You will have better success if you use a program that is meant to design webpages, not a desktop publishing program. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "IE Doesn't Understand Publisher" IE Doesn't Understand wrote in message ...

Lots of people use alternate browsers. -- Hugs, Erika |

Why does IE 6 display web pages produced by Publisher incorrec
Erika,
Thanks for your prompt reply. But the problem is IE DOES NOT DISPLAY pages generated by MS Publisher correctly. However, FirefoX DOES display pages generated by MS Publisher correctly . MS Publisher and IE are both Microsoft products, however IE does NOT display Publisher pages correctly. Firefox is a non Microsoft product and it DOES display Publisher pages correctly. An idea why?

Mary,
This is the URL. Please note its an internal URL. Also the problem only occurs on a Dell Inspiron 6000, 15.4" screen, Windows XP and IE 6.0.2900.2180 Other machines with IE 6 are not as bad, but there is still some display issues. I beleive it has something to do with the 15.4" screen size. http://vitalconnex.dyndns.org:84 "Mary Sauer" wrote: What is the URL? -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "IE Doesn''t Understand Publisher" .com wrote in message ...

Why does IE 6 display web pages produced by Publisher incorrec
FWIW, I also have an Inspiron that is a little older with a 15" screen and
have found that sites generated from it vary drastically from the sites generated from my desktop, using Pub 2000. David Bartosik, the Publisher MVP that specializes in using Publisher to produce the websites reviewed the code generated by both computers and could never figure out why they varied, with resolution, etc. the same. In fact I won a bet with him as he felt it was impossible. Bottom line, I never did figure out why, but quit using the laptop to produce the final html code to post. Your site looks fine from my desktop in both IE6 and Firefox, though all page objects, including text are a bit larger in Firefox. It seems better spaced in IE6. If you are using Firefox as your default browser, then perhaps switch to IE to produce the page. DavidF "IE Doesn''t Understand Publisher" .com wrote in message ... Mary, This is the URL.
