2 quick and easy questions

[Matt]

Using FP2000

When I use the Paragraph settings to control the layout of my text it
doesn't show up formatted after I publish. I am assuming that each person's
browser settings override the Paragraph controls, right?

And if that's the case then does the text over an image feature work in
every browser?

were the questions too easy? Is there a better NG to ask more basic
questions?

You must have patience. This isn't a chat room where someone is standing by
to answer your question within minutes. ;-)

Someone will answer your question if they have the answer and choose to do
so.

You can use CSS to control Paragraph formatting from a external .css file.

Text should be added to the image in a image application or place the text under the image or set
the image as a cell background.

Best to provide a URL to the page in question, as it make answer questions about a page appearance
easier to answer.

sorry... didn't mean to rush things...I just noticed that after 1½ hours
that everyone else that asked a question in the same general time frame
seemed to have an answer but me so I assumed that I asked a question that
should have been asked somewhere else.

css is on my list of things to learn, I just haven't made it there quite yet

Text should be added to the image in a image application or place the text
under the image or set the image as a cell background.

Well the problem is that the text will change every week and I have to stick
with the design given to me. Perhaps there's an easier way to handle this
but my knowledge is too limited on the subject...

I would place the image under the text as a cell background and then insert a table into the cell to
control the text area. I would get rid of the extra space (word spacing) between the words as well
and no use CSS.

I didn't consider putting a second table into the cell... thanks!!! But how
do you get rid of the word spacing? I'll google it...

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Select the text, then remove formatting.

Remove word-spacing from the inline style:
<p style="word-spacing: 10; margin-left: 36; margin-right: 70; margin-top: 28">

one last question... how do you control the position of the imbedded table?
I've tried adjusting the positioning in the cell and the table layout
settings but can't quite get it to line up quite right.

And thanks for all the help.

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Explain in a little more detail how you want to position the nested table.

well my ultimate goal is to have the text line up over the silver squares...
and unfortunately the silver squares aren't in the center of the cell.
Maybe I ca rework my graphics a little to help ease the problems.

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Ok, you have a table/cell with the silver background and you want to nested another table, but you
want it be at the bottom of the base table/cell, correct, then before inserting the nested table set
the cell alignment properties to bottom, etc.
