I just stumbled onto a limitation where I have a page 1000 x 3000 pixels and I cannot draw a graphic box deeper than 2000 pixels. Or am I overlooking something?

Robert, i know someone else asked about this sometime ago, you might try a search of the VSD forum.
I"ll wait to see if this gets moved before I say anything else – since this thread is for suggestions rather than help....

We could hard code an object for you. You could also overlap two elements if you not applying any affects to them.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Why not set a background for the page so you don't have to use a graphic that large? Your pages will load faster and you won't have to worry about accidentally grabbing your graphic when you move other elements around ;)

It was more of a surprise that there was a limit, not a specific problem for me. (I did make two objects to get more than 2000 pixels tall and that worked fine.)

I put my comment in the suggestion thread (and probably stated it wrong) that this could be an enhancement considered for the future.

Paintbrush... I am using the technique to set text on top of the box, and include a drop shadow to make it 'lift off the page' visually. The column depth varies when monthly updates are made. I just happened to have an extraordinary amount of text in one column this time.

I'm set to go! :cool: Thanks for the feedback.

Glad to hear you got something figured out :)

Here's one more idea – You could put a scrolling div (or an IFrame) on top of a box. This would let you have a smaller sized graphic and shorter page.
