Aligning text boxes and photos

[Bob Pearce]

Re' Pub 2002, MS Office XP, OS is XP Pro. I am having trouble getting text
boxes and photos to align side by side. The text in the Pub file fills the
box so the photo and text box looks good however when previewing and or
uploading, the text box is not filled (the text takes up less room leaving
lots of blank space at the bottom) which makes the page then appear
unbalanced. [url]www.vilmascurtains.com.au[/url] .Could it be a viewing problem (screen
/ video display) at my end and perhaps ??Might it be aligned on the web
(have not checked via another computer). I have tried various font sizes and
adjusted various font sizes while viewing via the browser with no luck. I
have used publisher for about 6 years or so for designing pages and have
this trouble only now and then. Hope you can assist. Bob, Australia.

The text is filling the width of the table cell.
I'd suggest reading [url]http://www.davidbartosik.com/pub2k/pub2k_4.htm[/url] to better
understand this.
The example is written in version 2000 but the principle remains.
You might opt to change the page width

You can also experiment with resizing the text box width and placing an
empty text box alongside to hold the space (an empty cell).
btw, I am surprised to see you have a centered page.
that is generally difficult to achieve in version 2002.
