Setting page size and alignment
Default site property settings for Width and Height determine the dimensions
of master pages, and each master page in turn determines the size of pages that
use it. A default site property setting for alignment (either Left or Centered)
determines how page content lines up in a browser.
One of the first things you may want to do, when creating a new site from
scratch, is to check the default dimensions and adjust them if necessary. You
can also override the site setting for a given master page as needed. Individual
pages that don’t use a master page (for example, HTML pages you’ve
imported) can have their own dimensions. You can adjust the dimension
settings at any time—but as a rule, make changes before you've gone too far
with laying out page elements!
In general, use a Width setting that will fit on a standard monitor (750 pixels
is usually safe) and won’t force users to scroll horizontally.
As for Height, allow enough vertical distance to let you lay out the objects on
your longest page. It's OK to allow more space than you expect to fill. As each
individual page is published to the Web, WebPlus will truncate the page either
at the specified Height setting or just below the bottom element on each
page/master page, whichever is less. In other words, there’s no danger of
blank space below your bottom element—but don’t let elements run outside
the indicated page dimensions.
