New PC 17'Monitor to 19'Monitor: old web compatible?

[Trish]

I have FrontPage 2003, WinXP pro, FrontPage Extensions on the
Server I use. I maintain 2 web sites: www.regischurch.com and
www.paulturner.org . I moved my old web PC source to my newly
installed FrontPage 2003 on my new PC. My new monitor has a
very high resolution setting. When I started to make a frontpage
update on my PC the screen looks twice as big and the text looks
much smaller than it did on my 17inch monitor.
Is there something I have to do to my current FrontPage settings
to get my web updates set so they will publish correctly to my
existing web sites?
It sure looks like I would have a problem publishing from my 'now'
PC to my existing web sites from the looks of my current PC
based web page that I edited.
If anyone understands what I'm trying to say, could they help me?
I've tried to read about 'screen resolutions'/'screen sizes'... I
don't understand. If I could see a step by step synopsis of what I
need to do, I think I would understand and could do this in the
future. I really feel stupid. Please help me.
P.S. I also upgraded to SP2 when my new PC was built. I only had
SP1 on my old PC that I used to update my web sites.

First of all: Nothing wrong with your pages, nothing wrong with your
FP-settings. Both pages look just great.

I think it's just a matter of screen resolution. Most 15" monitor users have
a 800x600 pixel screenresolution.
On a 17" monitor most people use a 800x600 or 1024x768 pixel screen
resolution. On a 19" (TFT) monitor mostly 1024x768 is used.
This resolution is all about screen-height and -width. PC users are
measuring this in pixels. So if one uses a screen resolution of 800 x 600 it
will tell you that the screen will show you a desktop (on screen) of 800x600
pixels. Note that a pixel is NOT a certain defined unit of measurement, like
a centimeter or a an inch. No, it tells u how big your pc's desktop is.

If you change your screen resolution (rightclick on an empty part of your
desktop, click on Settings, click on Screen settings, click on resolution
(mind you: I'm trnslating this from Dutch, so the descriptions on your
screen could be slightly different)) you change the size of the desktop (the
higher your resolution, the bigger your desktop gets.
It does NOT change the size of the pages you developed in FP. They only look
different.

And I said it before: they both look great on my computer, resolution
1024x768.
Don't change it just because it doesn't fit the screen exactly anymore.
That's a problem we've all got.
