Re: Drag and Drop Index .pub files into mapped FTP folder 2 cng we

The good news is that I guessed wrong. Your problem is simply that you need
to make your text boxes a bit bigger and potentially move some other design
elements away from the text boxes. I only spotted a few, so it shouldn't be
that hard to lengthen the text boxes a bit. Also be sure to note the "nudge"
tool. It is handy for moving things just a few ticks.

As Rob suggested, it appears that you downloaded the wrong version of
FileZilla. You want the client side, not the server side.

The website URL: http://www.lcn-hoa.com

Some of the pages have overlapping text and picture boxes, e.g. half of a
line of text is missing due to a picture image overlapping the text box.
See
goal #6.

Thanks for looking at the site.

Another question:

I downloaded the appropriate version of FileZilla, and there is one set of
instructions in the documentation area is called, "Compiling FileZilla 3
under Windows," and mentions a number of items that I don't know:

1. MinGW
2. MSYS
3. MSYS Developer Toolkit
4. Compilation flags
5. autotools
6. Liviconv
7. Libidn
8. Gettext, etc.

Do I need to make these changes to Windows Ultimate to use FileZilla?

Thanks for following my entries, David. Your help is much appreciated.

Thomboy,

I think you will find that once you get FileZilla installed and learn how
to
use it, you will find it easier and faster. Be sure to download the
documentation/instructions.

As per your other question, I am going to guess about what the problem is
since you did not provide a link. I am guessing that your monitor on your
desktop is set at 96 dpi, and your wife's laptop is set at 120 dpi. You
can
right click your desktop, properties, settings, advanced to check this.
Many
of the new laptops are coming set at 120 dpi from the factory.
Unfortunately
Publisher outputs everything including the text at 96 dpi, and when you
view
it at 120 dpi the page can exhibit the symptoms you describe. And there
is
no fix...

If that is not the problem, then post a link to a page where you are
having
the problem, and be specific about what you are seeing.

Thanks, David, you have mentioned before using FileZilla as a FTP
client,
so
I will go to the site, download it, and begin using it to FTP my
changes
to
the host site.

Another question:

On my website, too many text box and picture images overlap. Is there
any
easy fix without manually using Design Checker to find and fix the
problems?
Too many viewers talk about the overlaps, but I don't see them on my
computer
running VISTA Ultimate with a screen resolution of 1680 X 1050 pixels.
When
I use my wife's laptop, running Windows XP, with a screen resolution of
1440X
900 pixels, I do.

Thanks, Thomboy

When you "Publish to the Web" Publisher will produce an "index.htm"
file
(your home page) and a "index_files" folder that contains the
supporting
graphics and additional pages to your site.

Try logging on to your FTP site BEFORE you try to drag and drop BOTH
the
new
index.htm file and the index_files folder to the FTP site. Sometimes
it
helps if you delete your old index.htm file and index_files folder
from
the
FTP site before uploading the new. If that makes you paranoid, then
just
rename the old files, and leave them where they are in case something
goes
wrong.

Consider downloading, installing and using FileZilla for your FTP
client.

Hey, Rob, I don't think the stats nor .pub files were published to
the
website. I merely mentioned all the files in the FTP folder on my
computer
to explain that I thought I could drag the index_files from my
Publisher
.pub
document to the FTP file and they would replace the existing
index_files
in
the FTP folder, and viola, the new pages would be published at the
Website.

Thanks for the reply.
