How to center a web page on the monitor vs. left aligned?

[High Springs Bonnie]

I'd like to create web pages, with Publisher 2007, that are centered on the
monitors of visitors, rather than having it left aligned on the monitor. Any
help will be appreciated.
Thank you!
-Bonnie

 

[Rob Giordano \(Crash\)]

You can't.
Publisher 2007 only creates left aligned websites.

Rob, thank you so much for your reply! It absolutely answered my question.
I don't like the answer - because I like looking at pages that are centered
on the monitor, and "assume" that others also prefer that.
You have saved me a lot of time and mental effort! I can now stop trying to
figure-out that issue.

Do you know of any other simple web design programs I might try?

I've tried Dreamweaver. With my limited time to learn, it is a bit too
complex for my needs.

Again, thank you very much!
-Bonnie

==============================
This works only for websites created with Publisher 2000 & 2002.

Each of your html files requires adding the <center> code after the existing
</head> code.

You can go into each html file and do it manually or get the free
ReplaceInfiles program
and make it an easy chore.


"ReplaceInFiles" can be downloaded from:

<http://www.emurasoft.com/index.htm>

The four boxes require the following information:

Find: </head>
Replace with: </head> <center>
File Types: *.html
In Folder:
(use the button to go to the folder where the html files are located on your
drive)

The bottom four boxes can be left blank.

Note: Once the boxes are filled out and the "Replace all" is selected, the
entries are retained for the next time you use the program.

P.S. One of the kind visitors of this news group told us of ReplaceInfiles
program some time ago; 'Sorry I forgot the individual's name. (Another
unsung hero).

Don,

The OP stated she is using 2007.

Bonnie,

Take a look at Serif's WebPlus. It does what you need (plus a whole lot
more!) and is not unlike Pub as far as the interface and how things are
done. You can download an old version free of charge at
http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/ It's light years behind WP10, and not
worth using (IMO), but the lovely Natasha will soon send you a fantastic
deal on the latest version within a couple of weeks of you registering
the product.

Using legacy eyeballs here; issued in August, 1931.

Don,

One of my staff, who takes care of Classified advertising and other
chores, has eyeballs issued in 1922. Believe it or not, she doesn't wear
glasses anymore. She had cataract surgery a few years ago and has not
needed them since.

I've been hanging glass off my nose for over 70 years; I'd feel naked
without the windows. The eye doc tells me it will be soon (next couple of
years) for cataract surgery. 'Not looking forward to it even though
everyone tells me "it's a walk in the park."

Don,

It's minor surgery - as long as it is happening to someone else. If it
is me, it's major surgery!

We're on the same page!!

The word following 70 was "years".

Open Publisher and go to File, Page setup. Here you have two options: using
Custom feature where you can change the width and height of your webpage, or
select webpage and change the width. I use a width 1000px and height 4608px.
Changing the width will give you the ability to center your page. You can
go wider if you need to. Just keep in mind that you do NOT want to make the
webpage so that a user has to scroll over to read all of it. In Publisher
the height is not a significant measure because whatever you put on your
page, the last amount of information will end the page when you publish it.
Another reminder; do not make your pages too long for the same reason--users
don't need to scroll forever to see your site. The auto hyperlink features
makes it easy to maneuver through your site in Publisher. On your design
page, move your information from the left side of the page and use your web
preview to see how it is aligning. Hope this helps.

 

[Mike Koewler]

In Publisher

the height is not a significant measure because whatever you put on your
page, the last amount of information will end the page when you

publish it. <<

I believe this is only true of IE and similar browsers - not Gecko-based
ones.

[DavidF]

Mike,

Actually veteran user is mostly correct. Except for Pub 2002, all versions
of Publisher truncates the html page after the last design element,
regardless of how long the publication page is. At least this is true in
FireFox, Opera and IE.
