Layout Tables

[Alan Penn]

Hi,
I seem to have more problems with the above feature than any other in
FP. If anyone knows of any good tutorials or books on the subject (I
have looked at the Microsoft training tuts and I have FP Step by Step
which by the way I am distinctly unimpressed) I would be obliged.
New to FP by the way
Regards Alan

Frankly, this feature isn't as intuitive or useful as it might be. The
mindset, however, is that the layout table itself is a drawing surface that
you add to the page by dragging the mouse across an area.

Then, you switch to creating layout cells. In this mode, you drag the mouse
across a portion of the layout table to create containers (layout cells).
FrontPage positions the layout cell by adding, merging, and sizing cell in
the layout table.

Finally, then, you add your content inside the layout cells.

The effect is supposed to be like arranging text boxes in PowerPoint or
Publisher. The rub is that there aren't any drawing and positioning commands;
you can only drag objects and edges with the mouse.

The main problem I have now is scroll bars coming up when previewing
in browser either 800*600 or 1024*800. I have tried altering the table
sizes in properties but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Am I
missing something?
