Hi, I just downloaded Visual Site designer today - starting to design my site and I can not scroll down on the page. I copy and paste in some text (longer than the page of my screen) and it won't let me scroll down.

When I view in browers, the text is there....? Any ideas?

If a page isn't long enough, use the Height setting in Page Properties to change the page's height so it's long enough to for all the content you're adding. The "Preset sizes:" for the page are just a starting point. The Height and Width settings are what the page actually uses.

Thanks Cary, that worked... but that is weired. Every other web site software I've used, the page extends to as much information you input....

thanks again,

Normally, that would be the case, because the added content is left within the normal flow of the page. With VSD, everything is positioned absolutely, so any content you add is removed from the normal flow of the page. The page isn't actually containing the content as it normally would, so it won't lengthen with the content as it normally would, so you have to explicitly tell it how long it should be.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
