Publisher 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 as close to the original publication as possible.
There are, however, types of page layouts that Publisher supports, but
the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) does not.
The following is a list of page layout features that are available in
Publisher, but 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 page.
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, some Web browsers do not currently support this tag; therefore, fully justified text may appear 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 that contain BorderArt
- Text frames that contain Gradient Fills
- Text frames that overlap one or more text frames or other objects
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.
Copyfitted Text
Font sizes may change when you publish HTML that contains copyfitted text, especially when the copyfitted text is formatted at fractional point sizes. For example, 26.3pt Times New Roman will appear as 24pt in your browser.
