FrontPage XP (Link Bars based on navigation structure)

[Veronica Wilson]

I'm using FrontPage XP on Win2KPro. Go to Insert -> Web
Component -> Link Bars -> Bar based on navigation
structure. When you insert a link bar based on the
navigation structure and the text in the navigation
structure is longer than the space in the link bar it
doesn't wrap it cuts it off. How do you get the name to
wrap in the vertical bar? Also in the theme when you
select vertical buttons it puts in images so if I do get
the text to wrap the lines will not properly separate the
text.

The text on the link bars cannot be made to wrap. You
could play around with wording or change the text font
size to improve your situation.

Can't be done.

Exactly.

Your choices are to:

1. Use shorter page titles.
2. Modify the theme to use longer button backgrounds.
3. Use text navigation links.
