I don't know what is happening but data is overlapping
cells, Word Art is not showing up anymore no matter how
do the compatibility settings. Any suggestions please?

I think I will have to forget Word Art.

Good choice.

Word Art is a feature Microsoft added to IE back in the
days when proprietary features were supposed to attract
Web surfers and designers away from Netscape (which was
playing the same game.) Of course, the features never
caught on, and now they're esentially obsolete.

Thank you for the Ten Traps. But what am I doing to mess
up my tables? Guess I need to get into the html to find
out.

1) you have some cobbled html to fix
As in <td height="100%&quot;" which should be <td height="100%"
2) remove you styles from you content in the tables
Stuff like <p class="MsoBodyText" style="text-indent: -18.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt"> move your text out of the tables cells

IMHO drop all the Word/Shape art as a simple table (and .gif for you text) will do what you are trying to do

Don't know how that happened. I copied text from Publisher
which probably contributed to my dilemma. Is it better to
copy text into notepad first to get rid of formatting and
then into FrontPage or is there another trick?

Also about Word Art - are you saying to use different
graphic package to create gif or is the way to use Word
Art generated gif and put it in table and refer to
directly?

Thank you so much for your help. The FrontPage Newsgroup
is my favorite MS Newsgroup. MS-MVP's, Authors, and others
are wonderful.

Happy Holidays!

Yes - Use notepad to strip "stuff" from other file formats

Use a graphics editor, or a screen capture tool (to garb the wordart) to create your colored text

Sorry. The advice I intended to give was:

This problem occurs frequently when you put Word Art
in tables. So stop putting Word Art in tables. In
fact, stop using WordArt completely.

Apparently I expressed this poorly.

Thank you, I was confused because I don't use Word Art in
tables but for headings in pages. I have learned my lesson
though. Have a few pages to change.

Happy Holidays!
