Normal page views different than when I preview page

When I create a page in Normal view and then look at it in Preview and also
preview it in a browser, it looks different.

Give us a URL and more info about what is different. Otherwise we'd only be
guessing. Hope you didn't use absolute positioning.

Absolute positioning is not a problem when it's used correctly, Eleanor.

Is it easy to use absolute positioning incorrectly? Yes, until you know how
not to.

I was trying to set up a page from the templates - narrow, right aligned
body- so that I could have pictures on half of the page and text on the
other. The pictures and text look fine when I preview them and also when I
initially insert the text. But after I exit the program and look at the page
again in normal view all the text is in a column one word at a time.
Positioning is set at none. This page is not yet published.

I'm just learning all this stuff - how do I show you the code on the page?

Paste it into a reply?

Upload it and post a URI to the uploaded page?

Either of those are great ways....

And where can we learn how to use it correctly, please? Beginners shouldn't
go near it ... do you agree with that?

Beginners shouldn't go near anything they do not understand how to use.
Absolute positioning is not so hard, but it does take some trial (and error)
and study.

Here are some rules for working with absolutely positioned divisions (or
layers) that I helped develop some years ago. They are all pretty
relevant -

Murray,

The main problem is that people want/purchase FP, so that they do not have to learn HTML. This has
been stated by users many times in this newsgroup.

FP make it very easy to use Absolute Positioning, without really realizing what they are using.

Folks want to just be able to drag photos around on the page until it look right to them, just like
in Publisher and Word.
