How do I create web pages so tables/frames NEVER resize, even whe.
Through trial and error with MS Word, I've made web pages with tables and
frames, as well as combinations of both, but when I put the final webpage online, they always get resized when I make the browser window smaller. Confirming that the tables are fixed widths and that the frames are not resizable does not resolve the problem. I assume MS Word was designed to keep the maximum content on screen, no matter how narrow the browser window is, but that is NOT what I want. I want the width and appearance of my content to remain static, meaning that a user who reduces the size of their browser window runs the risk of having some content cut off on the right side of the screen -- i.e., like most normal websites. Thanks in advance for any input. |

The short answer is, don't use Word to create web pages. It wasn't designed
for it, and it does it really badly. But if you must, open the HTML output and edit the table settings directly. "jrs" wrote in message ...

I was afraid that would be the response, but thanks. I'm just trying to make
a personal wedding page for friends and family to view, so I'm not prepared to invest in a full publishing package. Any recommendations on what the relevant settings script should be or where to find a newbie-friendly primer for table settings on the net? Thanks again.

www.w3.org has the normative reference. Or Google for 'HTML tables'
