Print formatting

C

cc-ldv

When I print from my browser, some of the content on the right side is cut
off, but it's not too bad. If I change to landscape, the print preview
indicates several hundred pages, and it seems to be trying to print the same
material over and over, as though it's stuck in some kind if a print loop.

My concern is that someone will visit my website and unknowingly print
several hundred pages of duplicate material. I'm new to Frontpage - any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Most likely, your page contains some invalid HTML. You may be able to correct
this by switching to Code view, right-clicking the editing window, and
choosing Reformat HTML. Keep in mind, however, that any "corrections"
FrontPage makes are based on its interpretation of your invalid HTML, which
may differ considerably from your original intention.

For a more definitive, less shot-in-the-dark answer, please post the URL of
the problem page to this thread.

In the US, a standard print page is 8.5" wide with 1" margins. That means
that there is 6.5" of space for printed material. At 96dpi, 6.5" is 6.5 x
96 = ~ 624dots (or pixels). This means that if you have horizontal widths
greater than ~624px you will get truncated output. You must control the
aggregate width of your horizontal content to fit onto an 8.5" wide page as
a result.

You can do this by using fixed width tables (or even flexible ones), and
carefully sized graphics, or by using CSS print stylesheets. Either of
these methods would be suitably done in FP.
