Page Setup

[Continental Translations]

Can anyone tell me what the width of a webpage should be in MS Publisher, if
the page is to be viewed at "medium" text side and with no horizontal scroll
bar.

When I preview my webpages now, they always include horizontal scroll bars.
I just want my page to have a vertical scrollbar, so what should the page
width be?

Thanks

That depends on monitor resolution settings. Assuming 800x600, in Publisher
2000, I use the "wide" 7.5" setting in page setup. But that will look narrow on
most laptops, which typically run higher resolution by default. Publisher does
not support that slick trick where the page adjusts itself (sorta). All things
considered, I think pages should be set to look good at 800x600 with IE text
size set to medium. Opinions may differ. The last survey I saw still had most
viewers looking with 800x600 monitors, but that has to be changing rapidly.
