Recently I began a website for a friend of mine who needs it for a little advertising.

I thought it would be easy (and it has been, for the most part) since I have Frontpage extensions on my webspace, basic knowledge of the program, and plenty of space for his purposes. I am not writing the page in HTML, I am simply using the WYSIWYG interface.

Here's my problem:

I added a navigation bar consisting of a simple table and text links on the left of the page, but because of Frontpage's irritating absolute positioning format, I can't simply type text to the right of the navigation table without screwing it up.

"Fine," I think as I notice this, "I'll just use a text box for text." I do this only to find out that the text box will only let me type in the middle of the box and not the top-left!

Simply put, does anyone know how to work around this? Is there a simple HTML code-set that allows me to insert a simple, scroll-down text container? I need something like that or maybe something that allows me to write news in a format that places news items (in the middle of the page) using bar-separators and date/time.

Please help!

Well.. problem solved on my own, I think.

I sent my link table to a left shared border and used an inline frame (sourced from a separate page) for the news text. Thought I'd report in case anyone wanted to use this information in the future.

also check the properties of the text box it may be set to align the text to the top left, i use tables on mine to get shit where i want

I'll look into that also, thanks Elemak.
