I have a web site that I've created in FrontPage 2002, and was wondering if
there is a way to control the size of these pages based on the user's screen
size? I developed these with a larger monitor than I now have, and so I've
noticed that I know how to scroll back and forth to view the whole page. I
could re-do the pages (ick!), but it seems that having it check for screen
size and zoom itself would be the best way to handle it.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Place your content inside of a table that's set to a fixed number of pixels,
such as 760 pixels, and then it will look the same at all resolutions.

Screen size is not the variable you want, anyhow, unless you would assume
that everyone browses with maximized browser viewports, which is incorrect.

Dave's recommendation will work for 800px wide screens. You have to choose
what to use based on your anticipated demographic....
