SUMMARY
Publisher 97 is designed to make it easy for you to create good looking Web sites. As much as possible, Publisher tries to make Web pages that appear the way the publication does in Publisher.
There are, however, types of page layout that Publisher supports but HTML does not.
MORE INFORMATION
The following is a list of page layout features that are available in Publisher but that are not supported in HTML.
After each item is a description of how Publisher handles the feature when your publication is exported as an HTML publication.
Rotated Text
HTML does not support rotated text. Publisher simulates rotated text by converting rotated text frames to inline graphics.
Tabs
HTML does not support tabs. When you are working on a Web publication, pressing the tab key will insert a single space instead.
Full Justification
There is an HTML tag to justify text to the left and right at the same time, and Publisher uses this tag. However, most Web browsers currently do not support this tag, so fully justified text may be displayed as left-justified text.
Kerning and Custom Character Spacing
You can adjust the spacing between characters in Publisher, but unless the text is rendered as a picture, the custom character spacing will be lost. Publisher will convert the following types of text objects to pictures:
- Rotated text frames
- Tables
- Text frames with BorderArt
- Text frames that overlap another text frame or a graphic
Multi-Column Text Frames
When you are working in a Web publication, you cannot format a single text frame to have more than one column. If you want to use multiple columns, create one text frame for each column and then link them together.
