more Word help :(
I've got a word document that needs to be stuck up as a webpage but when i go to the webpage preview it makes the text fill the whole screen horizontally, is there anyway to stop it doing this without going all through the source and editing the table widths or whatever?

constructive post, ta
someone handed me a few word docs and said 'put this on the web, thanks' so i assumed i could just use word's own web page thing to do it but it doesn't seem to be working
once i've done this i need to tell the other people in the group what they need to do to get theirs the same, as as none of them know html saying 'open up notepad and edit the code' isn't what i'm after

just pasting it into frontpage messes up the rest of the formatting and anything more complicated than that i suspect will be too complicated
i just need to find out how to stop word making the text fill 100% of the width

"In Web layout view, you can see backgrounds, text is wrapped to fit the window, and graphics are positioned just as they are in a Web browser."
it's the text being wrapped to fit the window i want to stop, anyone know how?

Try copying + pasting the whole word document into a table, and modifying the width of that table. I doubt changing the margins/indents will help much.

margins had no effect on webpage view
sticking into a table just screws up the formatting
nm, i'll think of something

Open up the HTML code, and put in this somewhere between <head> and </head>. Replace the 20 with any value which makes it look good etc.
Code:
<style>
body {margin-left: 20%; margin-right: 20%;}
</style>
