Images over text

Margaret,

Unfortunately, Pub 2003 was designed to work best with IE, and does not have
good cross browser support. Your page does not load well with Mozilla
either. This is another reason why I prefer Pub 2000 for web documents. I
guess one suggestion is to post a notice on your site that it is best viewed
in IE, not that it will make people happy that have chosen to not use IE.

I have been told that I am having similar problems with images over text
on
my website by a reader who uses Opera v 7.54. (He also cannot read the
links
in the box set up for this purpose but I've sussed that it's because these
are set up in the Master Page which you say should not be done in another
string.)

My website is www.goin-stompin.co.uk. I use Windows XP (service pack 2)
and
Publisher 2003. I have not used word wrap. My text is in a text box and my
image is in an image box alongside it. I can read the site OK using
Internet
Explorer V6 (SP2) and have not had any other complaints / enquiries about
either images over text or the links not working, but that may be apathy
from readers!

Can you help please? (I also prefer to use publisher, but it's because I'm
a
geriatric female technophobe and I prefer to stick with what I know!)
Thanks

Paolo,

Word wrap is a print document feature that does not work in a web
document.
You will either need to change your layout to avoid the word wrap around
images, or find another way to do what you want to do. When you say that
you
have to find a procedure that involves only Publisher, what are you
trying
to do? Perhaps there is another way...

Hi,
I tried to convert a pub into an html (by "Convert into web site" or
something like this, in the file menu), and everything works good, but
images go over texts and so some sentences can't be read. In the
pub-file, the text goes all arount the image, while in the html it goes
under the image.

Can somebody tell me how can i solve this problem?
I HAVE to find a procedure that involves only Publisher because the
person that have to follow it can use only this program.

I use office 2003, and i know that office 2000 has't this problem.
Thank you very much in advance

Paolo

Why did M$ elect to make Publisher "work best" with only IE? Is this not a
violation of the Consent Decree in their anti-trust lawsuit with the government?
Certainly is violative in spirit if not a letter of the law violation. More
importantly, it sucks, and is unfair to users. It is ridiculous that many of us
are stranded in Publisher 2000 because the newer versions sucketh so badly.

was very recently heard to
utter:

Because the Publisher team doesn't have time or manpower to make the code as
cross-browser compatible as it might be, and because IE is more lenient
about certain web standards.

Thanks, David.

At least I'm not actually doing anything wrong which is a relief. Think I'll
follow your suggestion - at least people will know that I'm aware of the
problem and have tried to sort it out.
(Sorry to have opened a can of worms about compatibility. I naively thought
newer versions of software were designed to take into account developing
technology. Most comments on this site seems to think that Pub 2000 is
better than Pub 2003. Seems MS developers fixed some things that weren't
broke)

Margaret,

You are welcome, and don't worry about the compatibility 'discussion'. I
think MS did take into account developing technology, and in some ways
improved Publisher, especially for print documents. I prefer 2000 because
the code is more basic HTML, but the code used in 2003 is much better than
2002, and works pretty well if you use broadband. Unfortunately MS seems a
bit ahead of the curve, and the majority of people still use dial-up. As to
compatibility, you should also remember that the vast majority of people
still use IE as their default browser, so most will not have issues. Bottom
line is Publisher is a DTP, and will do a reasonable job if you want only a
basic, static website. If you want something more sophisticated, then switch
to something like FrontPage which is specifically designed for website
development. Good luck.
