If anybody knows how to make a page look normal viewed in both 480 and 800
res. please let me know. I thought I had seen something that auto adjusted
for the viewer. My graohics are all bunched up in 480. Thanks
 
To "auto adjust for the viewer" in Table Properties you would have to
set your table width to 100 percent, but you would then lose control
over your page layout as the page would re-adjust depending on a
viewers screen resolution. Only a minority of people still use 480
600 resolution.
If you cater for the most common 800 x 600 screen resolution, most
users will not have to scroll horizontally. You could set a table
width of 768 pixels and adjust the left margin to 0 pixels - in FP
2000 right click > page properties > margins. If you feel you need a
wider left margin, specify the amount of pixels and subtract the same
amount of pixels from 768.

750px is max width.

At http://www.wimbledonvisitor.com/pix.html I have set a table to 768
pixels with margins set to 0. I have test viewed on two machines (19"
& 15") with monitors set to 800 x 600 and neither machine requires
horizontal scrolling. In fact on my smaller 15" monitor I have a few
pixels spare on the right margin. However, bearing in mind your
advice about 750 pixels, are there some situations where a table size
bigger than 750 would cause horizontal scrolling? Many thanks in
advance.
 
Gives me a small ~ 5-10px scroll bar (use 760)
