Box larger in other computer

Hi,

I created a box using the drawing toolbar in FrontPage.
When I published the webpage it seemed alright, but when
I looked at the webpage from another computer, the box
was larger relative to the other elements on the webpage.

Why is this so? I'd like to maintain the size of the box
I created, but how?

Thanks.

The FP drawing tools use VML Graphics which is only supported in IE browser, plus absolute
positioning is used where you have no control over how it will appear on other monitors. Best to
always create your graphics in a image/graphic application and then save and import into your
current open FP web, then insert on your page.

Stop right there; whatever your problem, this is the cause.

The drawing features in FrontPage provide access to some
line-drawing features that Microsoft added to Internet
Explorer several versions ago. Unfortunately, those
features never worked as designers wanted, and no other
browsers ever supported them. As a result, none of the so-
called "Drawing" or "Word Art" tools are likely to produce
usable results. You'll need to achieve the effect you want
some other way.
