SYMPTOMS
When you create a Web page in Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 and then preview that Web page in a browser, the corners of the cell headers or of the cell footers on your Web page may appear smaller than the header or the footer of the cell. As a result, the corners appear indented below and above the edge of the header or of the footer.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if all the following conditions are true:
 * You add Corners cell formatting to a cell on your Web page.
 * When you view the Web page in a browser, the text size in the browser is set to greater than Medium.

This problem does not occur if the text size is set to Medium or to a smaller size.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Edit the HTML Code
You can change all headers and all the footers by editing the HTML code for your Web page or for your cascading style sheet. To do this, follow these steps:  Open your cascading style sheet in FrontPage. Locate the layout cell that you want to fix, and then click Code at the bottom of the pane to change to HTML view.  To change the header code, follow these steps:   Find the following text: .   In the tag that represents the header that is before this text, type style=&quot;font-size: 12pt&quot;. 

For example, a header region that has a teal background color and is 20 pixels in height is similar to the following: <td nowrap bgcolor=&quot;#008080&quot; height=&quot;20&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt&quot;> </li>  To change the footer code, follow these steps:   Find the following text : . </li>  In the tag that represents the footer that is before this text, type style=&quot;font-size: 12pt&quot;. </li></ol>

For example, the footer region that has a teal background color and is 20 pixels in height, is similar to this: <td nowrap bgcolor=&quot;#008080&quot; height=&quot;20&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt&quot;> </li></ol>

Method 2: Assign a Fixed Font Size to the Header or to the Footer
. You can use the Design view to change each header and footer in your Web page or in your cascading style sheet. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Open your Web page in FrontPage.
 * 2) Click the cell header or the cell footer that you want to fix.
 * 3) In the Quick Tag Selector toolbar, right-click the selected   cell, and then click Tag Properties.
 * 4) Click Style, click Format, and then click Font.
 * 5) Click the Font tab, and then in the Size list, click the font size that you want to use.
 * 6) Click OK three times.
 * 7) Repeat steps 2 through 6 for each header or footer that you want to fix.
 * 8) Click File, and then click Save.
 * 9) Preview your Web page in your browser.

Note The font size that you assign to a header or to a footer may not correct the problem if it is not the correct size in relation to the height of the header or of the footer. You may have to select a different font size to fix the problem. For example, the 12 point font size works only if the header height or the footer height is 20 or greater.

Note If you apply this workaround to a header or to a footer, and then the header or the footer is removed and re-applied to the Web page, you must re-apply this workaround to the header or to the footer.
