Re: Locking items on web page in place for all browsers

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Go back and read that article by David Bartosik again (I didn't write the
article). You did not use index.htm or index.html as your home page as
suggested in the article, you used default.htm. Also did you do a "Save As"
a web page, or did you "Export As" as you should in Pub 2002. You said you
are at SP3...are you sure you are talking about the Office SP...not the
operating system. It looks like you have produced "unfiltered" html vs.
"filtered".

How do you have your page dimensions setup up. (File > Page Setup) Are you
using a default setting or did you create a custom setting...you don't
change the length. Try the default wide setting and length.

As per Pub 2000 be sure to do a File Save As a Pub 2000 document before, or
if you uninstall Pub 2002. You can not open a Pub 2002 in Pub 2000. You may
have to adjust some of the formatting , or if you manage to keep both
versions installed, then you can copy and paste between the two.

When you try to install Pub 2000, using a custom install, into a custom
folder, what error message do you get? When you uninstalled Pub 2002, and
then tried to install Pub 2000, what error message? Do you still have Office
2000 installed, or did you overwrite it when you installed Office 2002 or
XP? Or do you just have Publisher? Post back the details of what you tried,
and the error messages.

Thanks David...I'm at SP3 (I thought I'd done SP4)...I'll check out a few
more of your suggestions...I thought I'd checked all that, but you know
how
it goes...Now the next question is...If I can get Pub 2000 reinstalled -
is
there a way to access the new web site I've just spent 3 days creating
(2002)
into IT? In any event...Many thanks for your time & help!! I'm 99.9% sure
I've nothing overlapping...but need to double check your other
suggestions!

I too hope Mary Sauer reads this & can offer a thought or two about
re-installing 2000
Again...my thanks! (Oh, and by the way...I'd already saved your first blog
when I got 2002!)

Wowser! I did look at your site in both IE and FF, and neither one of
them
looked good. I didn't read your post very closely, and thought you had
moved
on to Pub 2003. Have you installed SP1? Read this article for the
differences in 2002:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/archive/2006/01/03/81262.aspx

Note you do not produce the html code in the same way as you did with Pub
2000. You do not "Save as a web page".

Check your page setup...your page is way wide...are you using a default
setting?...that might be a symptom.

Do you have anything overlapping the work and scratch areas?

Always run the Design Checker...it can be helpful finding problems.

Personally, I would strongly encourage you to figure out how to get Pub
2000
reloaded. It is by far a better version for web building. The HTML code
is
not nearly as bloated, it handles images better, variable page length
which
they brought back with 2003, it has much better cross browser support and
more. Have you tried to do a custom install, where you install it to its
own
folder? Also, perhaps if the disc is scratched or damaged, copy it to
your
hard drive and install it from there.

Hopefully Mary Sauer will read this, and give you some other ideas on how
to
get Pub 2000 installed again. I know she has every version installed on
her
computers... I don't know how using Win2000 changes anything. I ran Pub
2000
on 98se, ME and XP, but never 2000....

The web address: www.ei-ifma.org I use Firefox & Optimal as my
browsers...Optimal shows everything, but things are 'off' just a
bit...Same
computer used for over five years...I still have Pub 2000, but even
w/removing 2002, computer won't accept re-installation of 2000...Using
Win2K
w/current updates in place...17" screen (same one-set at 600x800)
David...Many thanks...MS Newsgroups have never let me down & you're one
of
the reasons!

When MS introduced 2002, they changed the html coding engine, and
cross
browser support became a challenge. In some cases there are
workarounds
to
tweak the design and setup to leave webpages produced by 2003 more
compatible with FF. If you would post the URL of the problem page, we
can
take a look at it, and perhaps offer some suggestions.

Do you still have Pub 2000? Are you using a new computer to produce
your
site? A wide screen laptop perhaps?

I've been using Publisher 2000 for years w/no problem creating a web
site.
Have even figured out the diferences in 2002. But since switching,
my
site
does not hold its positions in Firefox. I have no problem reading it
correctly in any other browser - not entirely true things move a
little;
but
in Firefox, there is nothing of the set-up left. Am I missing a step
somewhere that locks the final pages? Am using Cute FTP to load to a
paid
isp
provider. I don't have the patience/mental health to teach myself
Front
Page
at the moment...MANY, many thanks for time, help & suggestions!!
