FP98: Images in Centered Bulleted List Are Left Aligned (183040)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q183040 SYMPTOMS
When you center a bulleted list on a page, the images used for the bullets
remain aligned at the left margin of the page. This behavior only occurs
when you have applied a theme.
CAUSE
When you create a bulleted list on a page, FrontPage uses standard HTML
list tags. When you center the text in the list, FrontPage adds an
align="center" attribute to the paragraph tag inside the list. When a Web
browser and FrontPage Editor read this code, the entire list appears
centered.
When you use a theme on your page, FrontPage uses tables to display the
list rather than standard list tags. Therefore, when you center the list
text, FrontPage adds the align="center" attribute to the paragraph tag
inside the cell. As a result, the cells that contain the text are centered,
but the cells that contain the images for the bullets are not.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem and center a bulleted list on a page that uses
themes, follow these steps:
- On the Table menu, click Insert Table.
- In the Insert Table dialog box, set the following values:
Item Value
-------------------------------
Rows 1
Columns 1
Alignment Center
Border Size 0
Cell Padding 0
Cell Spacing 0
Specify Width Unchecked
- Click OK.
- Select the bulleted list.
- On the Edit menu, click Cut.
- Click inside the newly created table.
- On the Edit menu, click Paste.
STATUS
