***** FP can give VERY CONFUSING and UNEXPECTED
results when selecting objects (tables, cells, pictures...) using
the mouse. Though it may be slightly tedious, ALWAYS SELECT
objects by inserting the cursor, then:
a) <Alt> ACT to select table, <Alt> ACE to select a
cell, etc.
b) To change the PROPERTIES of the selected object, use
<Alt> <Enter> to access the Properties Sheet
c) To copy the selection, use <Ctrl>
C. When laying out a new page, we typically INSERT a stacked
set of TABLES (at 100% width) into the MASTER TABLE. |
for
pictures;
a) insert table (<Alt> AIT)
b) pick R, C, width = 100%, spacing = 8
c) select leftmost cell (insert cursor, then <Alt> ACE),
then set Hz = Left
d) next, set rightmost cell at Hz = Right, and all center
cells at Hz = Center |
for text fields;
a) insert table (<Alt> AIT)
b) pick R, C, width = 100%, spacing = 8
c) To adjust space above or below a paragraph, Right click in
the desired paragraph, then from the drop down menu select
SPACE ABOVE or SPACE BELOW.
d) To adjust space to the Right or Left of a paragraph,
Right click in the desired paragraph, then from the drop down menu
select either INDENTATION BEFORE or INDENTATION AFTER. |

In this site, the MASTER TABLE
has width = 816px. The following thumbnail sizes work well.
|
|
3
Pics: w = 253px h = 165px
Pics(3 x 253) + Spaces(4 x
8) + Borders(6 x 2) +
FlexSpace(3 x 4) = 759 + 32 + 12 + 12
= 815 |
|
4
Pics: w = 186px h = 123px
Pics(4 x 186) + Spaces(5 x
8) + Borders(8 x 2) +
FlexSpace(4 x 4) = 744 + 40 + 16 + 16
= 816 |
|
5
Pics: w = 146px h = 95px
Pics(5 x 146) + Spaces(6 x
8) + Borders(10 x 2) +
FlexSpace(4 x 4) = 730 + 48 + 20 + 16
= 814 |

Both Pics are
the same size, but the 2nd has a border of width = 8px.
This is ADDED to the space taken by the pic. |
|
|
Both Tables have width = 250px.
This table has no border.
|
| This table has a border of width =
8px. The overall width of the table is unchanged, but the cell
