frontpage website text overlaying when viewed on Macs

[n7wol]

I have created a website with Frontpage 2003 the site can be view by most
people fine except if they are using Macintosh computers, hten they tend to
get text over laying its self. How do I reset page formatting so it is
constent. I am not using Frames or styles at this time

Unfortunately, that's what happens when you put blocks of text into layers.
You will also see a similar effect in your browser by selecting VIEW | Text
size > Largest. The problem is caused by the very nature of layers - they
do not interact with any other element on the page. I'm guessing that those
who are mentioning the problem are those who have their default browser text
size set larger than you.

The solution would be to not use layers for these text regions - use tables
instead. See how I have done it here -

Try changing the text size on this page - the only flaw now is that the
animated GIF images, being absolutely positioned (i.e., in layers) do not
flex with the page when the text is resized, and wind up on top of some
links....
