I have developed a form in IP 2007. It is a form designed to be
displayed within a web browser. I publish this form to a SharePoint
Forms Library, which is set up also to display IP forms within the web
page.
The web browser being used is Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, used on
XP.
Inside of IP 2007 design as well as in preview, the text inserted into
table columns (used as labels for the controls) all appear uniform and
well layed out.
When I initially ran the published form, I was rather surprised to see
labels in different sizes, with odd alignment to one another, and even
odd wrapping of text. I went back and compared the font and size of
all the labels as well as the cell alignment, etc., and everything
appeared to be the same. After struggling all day, I tried to vary the
View-> Text Size setting for the browser. The setting was at "Larger",
so I set it back to "Medium".
Once I reset the value, the form appeared in the way I had been
expecting it to originally. It looks as if, when a user changes that
setting, the result can be quite unexpected. When I bring up the form,
and then try altering that setting, some labels appear to increase as
expected, but others do not increase in size, and as I mentioned, some
change alignment.
Does anyone have any pointers to discussions on how to deal with this?
