Re: Clarity Help



I was not the one that suggested changing everything to PNG, and in fact
would recommend that at this point you do not do that. Leave your images as
is for now.

I realize that my response was lengthy and a bit disjointed, but here is
what you should do first:

"I assume that you are using Pub 2003, so the first step is to go to Tools >
Options > Web tab and uncheck "Rely on VML..." and "Allow PNG...". This
change alone will change the way the page looks in FF. It also appears that
you did a "Save As a web page" to produce your html files. Yes? This
produces a bloated unfiltered code. When you are ready to produce your site
from your Publisher document, use "Publish to the Web" instead. Try
uploading this new html output to your site and see if the images look
better, and especially in FF. Let me know when you get the new code uploaded
so we can compare the quality of the images. If the quality of the images
are still not satisfactory, we can take additional steps at that time."

Do the above before you do anything else, and post back when you have
uploaded the new code.

By the way, I forgot to say something last night when I was telling you
to
Publish to the Web instead of Save As to produce your html. Be sure to
delete all the old Publisher generated html files off your server before
uploading your new. When you do a Save As to produce your html, some
additional files are produced that won't be overwritten when you upload
the
new, and might still affect the way the page loads.

If you have to ask, then you aren't using a master page. A master page
works well in a print document, but not so well in a Publisher web
document. In a web document you can use "background" instead. Sorry to
confuse you, but some of the most frequent problems people have is the
use
of master pages, so I just wanted to rule that out.

Ok..silly question...How could I tell if I'm using a master page?? I
started using one of the predesiged templets in publisher then added
photo detail pages. Where could I check if I used a Master page (what
is a master page?) ? What should I use instead?

David,
Yes I saved the original jpg picts as reduced jpg. I will start
changing all of them over to the png like you suggested - this may
take a while.

I have had to group link all items on each page together so they won't
rearrange on me... would this be the cause of FF thinking it is one
big picture? When I don't group the items together, pictures and text
boxes move order from front to back and dissappear. And the tool bar
buttons resize to completly off the web site. Is there another way to
stop this from happening than using group lock?

The background of the website was a template, but I notice that it is
a series of square shapes with fill in color - not a
"background"...would this be causing discontent in the web world?

Thanks for all your info! I have been completely erasing what I load
on the web site each time I change it - though I would like to say it
was my vast knowledge of web sites that I knew erasing it was the
thing to do... ha! let's get real!
