Why does IE 6 display web pages produced by Publisher incorrectly

It looks fine on mine as well.
Might look at this web site. It is a bit dated, but it gives you an idea how your
site looks on other screen resolutions.

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.

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.

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?

JoAnn, I think you've misread the post.
The page displays correctly in non-MS browsers but incorrectly in IE.

David,

Thanks for your help. It sounds like you were able to recreate my problem.
I will move my publisher file from my laptop to another computer, use IE as
the default browser and then publish from there. I will see if that works and
get back to you. I hope by publishing from a "normal" desktop that my laptop
will display it correctly.

Thanks,

George

George,

Two points of clarification. I can still work on my site with my laptop, but
always transfer the Pub files to my desktop, open and save, and then produce
the final HTML. The second point is that the pages produced never did look
the same on the laptop as they did on the desktop. I wrote if off as
something particular to the laptop, and decided it was better to target the
'desktop' viewer, and at least have consistency in the way my pages
appeared. Good luck.
