Thanks for the feedback...tis appreciated..
You probably did not read my reply to John when he commented about your site
not viewing well in FF. Publisher generates html code that is optimized for
IE. However, you can get most sites to work in FF.
Go to Tools > Options > Web tab and uncheck "Rely on VML..." and "Allow
PNG...". And then be sure to use "publish to the web" to produce your web
files, not do a "save as a web page". That should fix most FF problems....

Thank you so much for your help David. It was great to have someone like
yourself helping out new people like me.
I have one other question to ask you. Some people with Mac's that are
using
firefox as a view are not able to see my website. Is this normal? Is
there
something I have done wrong to no let Mac user or people that use
different
browsers are unable to see my website.
Thank you in advance.

Sorry I don't have a better answer for you, I looked at your home page
with
a monitor set at 96 dpi, and it looked fine with one exception. But I
will
get back to that.
I notice that you do not have that many pages, or that much text, so
there
are a couple workarounds you could consider. The 120 and 96 dpi setting
primarily affects text. Given that you use very little text, you could
consider copying your text boxes, and then paste special back onto the
page
as a picture, and substitute the picture for the text. This will not be
as
affected by the different settings, if at all. The draw back of this
approach is that the web bots can not read the text after it has been
converted.
A second workaround you might consider is creating a second website on
the
120 dpi machine, and uploading it to use for wide aspect monitors. I
don't
know if it is worth the time or not, but if you are interested then
consider
this Publisher built site with two languages:
http://www.somoscapazes.org/ If you click on the English link in the
upper
left corner it will take you to the English version at
http://www.somoscapazes.org/english/index.htm , and click on Espanol to
go
to the Spanish version.
This person built two websites, with two Publisher files, and uploaded
the
second version to a subfolder they created on their host called
'english'.
You could do something similar and have a similar box telling people to
look
at the other site if they are using a wide screen monitor...something
like a
small text box that says "Using a wide screen monitor? click here"....or
something shorter. Or "Web site optimized for normal monitors, for wide
screen monitors, click here". Or some other text...
Then create a subfolder on your site called "wide". Create your second
website on the 120 dpi machine, and upload the html files and folders it
produces to that folder. The link to that site from your main site would
then be:
http://www.lancebissett.ca/wide/index.htm
As I said, there really isn't a good workaround for this issue, and I
don't
know if it is worth it or not, but given the relatively few pages in your
site, it would not take much work.
As to the other issue I alluded to, your images are too large and take
too
long to load. Reference: Compress graphics file sizes to create smaller
Publisher Web pages:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA011266301033.aspx
Very slow loading pages will be a bigger turnoff than the pages being a
bit
skewed by the 96 vs. 120 issue. This one I would take the time to fix.

That is the probelm then. Thank you I thought maybe it was the way I
did
the
website. So really anyone that has a wide screen monitor will see my
site
all wrong, but anyone else whom has a normal not wide screen LCD will
see
it
correct. That is so bad. Well I hope not to many people see it the
wrong
way. Thank you again for your help.

While your issue may be associated with a layout conflict, I suspect
that
what you are describing has to do with how the two monitors are set.
If
you
right click the desktop of the first monitor > Properties > Settings >
Advanced you will probably see the Display setting of 96 dpi. If you
do
the
same with the other monitor, then you will probably see 120 dpi. If
you
change that to 96, then the webpage will probably look the same. This
is
a
becoming a common issue with the new wide aspect screens that are
available
these days, that come preset at 120 dpi. Unfortunately, other than
resetting
the display, there is no workaround.
If that is not the issue, please post back.

Just put up a new webpage using Publisher 2003. It views great on a
17"
LCD
but when I look at it on a wide 17" it looks all wrong. How do I
fix
this
so
everyone that looks at the webpage will be seeing the correct style?
Thank you in advance.
