Re: Web site preview trouble

Thanks for your help David and Mike.

I followed the below instructions to create a background with one exception,
I am choosing a texture from within the Fill Effects dialog not an image. Yes
it did fill the entire background once imported to my web page.

Now, from there I want to add an inset page so that there is a darker bigger
page with a smaller lighter page within it. I tried to do this from within
the background dialog but could not figure out how to make a page in a page
so I thought I would have to build it. So this is what I did...

I added an autoshape (rectangle) and filled it with a lighter texture from
within the Fill Effects dialog. I stetched the rectangle from 96-720
(according to the ruler...what is this measurement in....pixels or some
other?) I also lengthened it to around 5952 (again according to the ruler).

Is this going to work or am I creating a graphic that is too large again?
Over this "page in a page" I want to put my logo and banner that I am still
working on resizing.

I forgot to mention, that its possible you are not doing the background
correctly. Go to format > background > more backgrounds > and you get a Fill
Effects dialog. Go to the picture tab, Select Picture and browse to your
background image. Your background image should be somewhere between 100 X
100 and 160 x 160 pixels wide, and probably 1 to 5 kb in size. This small
image will be reproduced to fill the entire background of your page.

As Mike said, all your images are too large. I haven't used
photoimpression, but look for instructions on how to "resample", "
resize", perhaps "optimize for the web". Then look at the width of the
images on your Pub page. The ruler at the top of the page should give you
the pixel width ideally, or at least in inches. Then in photoimpression
resize your original image to that width, and as Mike said 96 dpi or ppi.
Then insert those new images into your Pub page. You should find that your
banner for example should be reduced from 1.44 MB to probably less than 30
KB. Even your logo could be reduced to probably less than 10 KB.

The ideal is to optimize and size your images before inserting them, but
also reference this: Compress graphics file sizes to create smaller
Publisher Web pages

And if you can't figure out how to reduce the size of your images with
photoimpression, you could download and use Irfanview at
http://www.irfanview.com/ . It is free and remarkably capable.

Thanks Mike, can you be a little more specific. I am currently working
with
photoimmpression.

Reiki,

A good habit to get into is to adjust the image size and resolution in
an edit imaging program before importing it.

I am using the 2003 version of Publisher. I have used a dark leather
look
background for the web site and decided to contrast it with a light
colored
overlay color which was imported as a jpg. The original import size
was
1.22mb but when it imported it grew in size which I had to adjust
small to
allow for the leather look background to be visible...I am not sure
how to
tell the current size as it sits on the web page. I also imported a my
logo
graphics as a jpg in original size of 242 Kb...again it grew in size
and I
reduced it. One last import is my banner consisting of one picture in
jpg,
original size 1.44mb....also grew and I adjusted it smaller. Is this
the
problem? Do I have too much going on or in the wrong format or
something. I
have put the site construction on hold until I get this figured out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
