I have an issue with truncated text showing up only with IE and not other browsers out there. I build the site in VSD 7. The following link shows an example of what I am talking about, both in the sentence "is to inspire people to know Jesus and grow in Him." as well as the phone number at the bottom of the page. In the first sentence, in IE, the word Him is truncated, and in the bottom sentence, the phone number is truncated:

This only appears to happen with IE, and not Chrome or Firefox, and it seems to happen on other people's IE as well . Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I think your issues have to do with you not using web safe fonts. For 2 objects, you are using the Papyrus font.

.textstyle0 {font-family:Papyrus;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-size:12pt;text-decoration:none;color:#ffffff;}

.textstyle2 {font-family:Papyrus;font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;font-size:18pt;text-decoration:none;color:#800000;}

I would suggest switching those to a web safe font and see if that helps any.

Thanks for the tip, but I tried changing the fonts to Arial, but it made no difference in the preview. I am using the "Allow Advanced Text" feature of VSD, thinking that would allow me to use the Papyrus font style with no issues. Is that not the case?

Also, the first line of text in question was in Arial, and not Papyrus. Even the Arial was truncated.

Thanks,

I checked it out with all three browsers and for my setup their all identical. I don't see any issues.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
