Troubleshoot text formatting

Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003

Kerning, which is the selective spacing between pairs of letters, is not supported by Microsoft FrontPage. You can, however, expand or condense all the letters in a word by doing the following:

  1. In Page view, at the bottom of the document window, click Design Button image.
  2. Select the text, right-click, and then click Font on the shortcut menu.
  3. Click the Character Spacing tab.
  4. In the Spacing box, do one of the following:
    • To increase the space between characters, click Expanded.
    • To decrease the space between characters, click Condensed.
  5. In the By box, type or select a number to specify, in points, how much you want to increase or decrease the space between characters.

ShowI am unable to add plain bullets to my Web page.

If your page is using a theme, the Plain Bullets tab is unavailable from the Bullets and Numbering dialog box because themes use their own type of bullets.

  • To use Plain Bullets, you must remove the theme from the page.

    ShowHow?

    1. On the View menu, click Folders.
    2. Select the pages that you want to remove the theme from.
    3. On the Format menu, click Theme.
    4. In the Themes task pane, under Web site default theme, click No theme.

ShowThe collapsible lists I created do not collapse in some Web browsers.

Collapsible lists require ECMAScript as defined by the specification of the European Computer Manufacturers Association, such as JScript or JavaScript, to enable the showing and hiding of subitems in a list. In some Web browsers, site visitors have the ablity to turn off ECMAScript. If a site visitor turns off the ECMAScript functionality, collapsible lists will maintain an expanded state by default.
