Has your offending text been manually stretched or condensed?
I had the exact same problem. Perhaps you've used the white arrow Selection Tool to resize the text box instead of using the Text Tool?
As far as I can remember, I just put a text line and started typing. That was it. What can I try to resolve this?
How about attaching your .web file to your next post?

Did you draw a text area rectangle with the 'T'ext tool, and THEN start typing into the text area?Quote:

Sledger,
No I just clicked the text tool and started typing, I didn't draw out a box. The top of the page looks fine, but the middle and bottom is where is won't stay constrained to the page and over runs. I just don't get what is wrong.
Yes it's the same problem Nicky had.
You had compressed some text blocks.
Your Text isn't paragraph text as far as I can see.
Jim
Paragraph text?? What does that mean? Can someone just post a solution for me?
This has nothing to do with paragraph text. Those text blocks are resized horizontally. Remove them. Create new on their place. And never resize text non proportionally.
Examine the graphic below. Note that your white text is supposed to be Arial 14pt (according to the text info bar). Above your white text I typed a fresh cyan column of text in Arial 14pt. It wraps properly. Also, note that your lines are more condensed. That can only be done by horizontally scaling the text. That is why your text doesn't seem to properly clip at the page edge.
Replace the faulty paragraphs (those that don't properly display in Preview mode) with unstretched text ... and all will be well. :)
Once again, thank you for your alls help. I just deleted the old text and created new boxes by actually drawing a textbox line. I didn't know you could even do that. I do thank you for your alls help though. It is appreciated very much..
Cursor,
Do you know if it's possible to set a setting that will keep the background from scrolling when a user scrolls down? I have seen it done in many web pages and was curious if this is possible with XWD?
I don't know how to do that, but someone else might offer some suggestions.
Hi Razzle,
Try the placeholder shown in the attached image.
You will need to place this on each page you want the background to not scroll.
That could be a problem. Consider instead using the new <head> insertion method with the code being your own style sheet. Make it a repeatable object and bingo.
Of course, one would need to know how to do a simple style sheet where the background attachment behavior is stated.
Either way - I don't believe you can change the background behavior the way you described - it comes too late in the code.
Where exactly?Quote:

Yes, it also works in IE7, Safari, Chrome and Opera.
Although, to pass W3C validation it has to be:
And added to the head. But othervise it's perfectly working solution.Code:<style type="text/css">body {background-attachment:fixed;}</style>
I have added it in the new version of the tweaks gallery. :)
I opened Sledgers example file and it previewed as expected. I then added other elements to the file. The revised version is attached. When I preview the revised version, the new objects I added don't appear. Why?
A new object was set to repell text and that works but the object itself isn't appearing in the preview. Very wierd! I hope someone can identify what I might have done wrong or what I need to do for all objects to appear properly.
Regards, Ross
You made mistake in the placeholder code. Instead of "//->" you had to type "//-->".Quote:

Thanks Ross, I missed the typo because it all worked fine for me when I tested it. I originally had more objects but removed most of them before uploading the .web file.
I have now replaced it with the better validation code John supplied.
John thanks for the corrected placeholder text so that W3C validation works.
A simple example can be viewed at http://btaylor.50megs.com/noscroll/
The index.htm page is without the placeholder so you can see the page background scrolls with the text area.
Click the green button to see the second page that uses the placeholder as corrected by John (Covoxer). Scroll the page and the background remains fixed but the text area scrolls.
The .web file is attached.
