Re: Centering Web Pages in Publisher 2007

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

I couldn't resist trying this again. Try opening the file with NotePad
instead of WordPad. You can even open the file with IE, and then go to View
Source and in my case it automatically opens in NotePad.

Then try copy and pasting the first snippet right below the second </head>
tag, and the second snippet right above the last <body> tag. This worked for
me with a Pub 2003 file just now. If it works for you, then the directions I
gave you are wrong. Let me know.

David, I entered the code as you wrote it (had to use word pad since the
changes would not 'save' in Word). Unfortuantely, the page is centered
but
all the images are the page are in disarray. The only thing I can think
of
that deviates from your directions is the first instance of the <body>
tag.
I find only two instances of that tag: one at the end of the file, and the
initial reference which reads <body lang=EN-US link=blue vlink=purple
style='tab-interval:.5in'>

Is this the correct tag or am I missing something?
Thanks,
John G

Thank you, David. I'll give it a try. IMHO this is something that MS
needs
to fix immediately.

Hi John G,

Sorry to say that they still have not incorporated this feature in Pub
2007...wish they had.

You can center the pages, but it requires manually changing the coding
with
Pub 2003 and 2007. This means that if your pages are static...that you
don't
update them very often, you might find it worth the effort. In fact if
you
have just a few pages that are being updated periodically, you might
separate them out and produce them with other Publisher files, and
build
your site with multiple files and subfolders. Then if you want to
center any
particular page...

Do this:

1. Publish your website so that you have an HTML copy on your hard
drive.

2. Open "index.html" in a HTML editor, or at the worst, Notepad

3. Scroll down until you see the <body> tag

4. Underneath the <body> tag, enter (copy and paste will work) this
code:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="768"
align="center">
<tr>
<td>

(you may need to play with the width dimension)

5. Scroll all the way to the bottom until you see the </body> tag.

6. ABOVE the </body> tag, enter the following:

</td>
</tr>
</table>

Your content on that page should now be centered. Repeat with other
pages
that you want centered.

Has MS finally resolved the issue of left aligned web pages now that
Publisher 2007 is available for download? If not, is there a way of
modifying a new site I've built in Publisher 2007 (without starting
all
over
again)?

I've read the blog about the workaround used for Publisher 2003, but
am
really shocked that there isn't a checkbox in Publisher 2007 that
will
center
Web Pages. This was never an issue in Front Page, and 'centering' is
a
simple check box on most other publishing programs, particularly
those
that
can be used to create and publish web sites.

Thanks,
John G
