can you tell me any info on stopping the pages loading bit by bit?
many thannks

web pages were made on a wide screen laptop could the settings be too big it looks right on mine..dont have to scroll at all?

When you make a page you need to start over to the left as far as you can. Then in your page properties tick in the box that says 'centre in browser'. This will clear your sidewards scroll.

Adele,
There's a bit more to it than simply starting as far over to the left as possible and ticking the box that says 'centre in browser'. In the Page Properties dialogue box, pay attention to the Page Width number--I try to keep mine at or near 800 to prevent a horizontal scroll bar from appearing on .

Whatever you enter for page width, make sure (by using View menu > Object Outlines) that the R-hand edge of all your page elements--text, graphics, etc.--fall within that pixel position horizontally. That ruler in BV (below the buttons and just above your page-design area) makes it easy to estimate the pixel position of the right (or left) edge of any page element.

For example, if you set your page width to 800, but you have a page element whose R-hand edge sits at 900, you probably will get the horizontal scroll bar AND your page won't appear truly centered when you preview it. You would then have to move that element to the left (or resize it) so its R-hand edge is at 800 or less.

Those are beautiful colors and photos on your site, by the way.

hi jim
