    At times I notice that you have a very unfortunate way of communicating, but never mind, I will continue to seek help. (I believe that I did follow your suggestion anyway. In this instance I am still unconvinced about what you suggested but always willing to try anything),

    Rikko, my friend.
    I am not wanting to start an argument with you, I feel your frustration - but please do not read into my words something which is not there or blame me for your lack of comprehension. I made absolutely no mention or suggestion about using Word, yet you went ahead and did so which caused you more problems, so like I said - you didn't follow my lead.
    I've spent some time trying to explain where you have gone wrong, but you appear to have missed my points, clearly I have failed in helping you understand.
    Therefore I can only hope that someone else can express them selves in a way which suits you much better.
    I made no promises, I simply tried my best

    Wow! Are you guys both speaking the same language?
    Ok, let me take one more chance with it being as short as possible.

    1. Browsers can not render letters with not standard proportions. Remember this!
    2. You can change proportions of the letters in Xtreme and WD freely. So you can make them wider or thiner.
    3. In WD you can do this by resizing the text object with the selector tool (click on first image).
    4. In Xtreme you can also do this by altering "Aspect ratio" setting in the Text tool property bar (click on second image).
    5. Do not do this! The Aspect ratio has to be "100" if you want your text to be rendered correctly with browsers!

    6. If you want to resize the text area, use the "Text tool" (click on third image).

    Hope this helps...

    Don't know if I should jump in here or not, but here goes:
    I've re-attached your file with the About Us page changed. What I did was copy your text from the center area and paste it into NOTEPAD, not WORD. Notepad strips out the formatting so it's just the text. Then I deleted the center area and made a new Text Area using the Text Tool (Big T icon on the left). Now I paste the UNFORMATTED text from Notepad into this new Text Area and modify it as needed using the Text Tool. It's still text and renders as text in a browser.

    aridzone,
    Thanks. I use Notepad a lot just for that reason, instead of trying to figure out what formatting had been done to a block of text and trying to modify it. Easier to go back to square one and start fresh
