Website layout changes from PC to PC...
I created a website for a friend using VSD v7 b24. It is up and running on the internet and looks fine. However, he wants to be able to do the daily editing from here on out so he bought VSD v7 b26 and installed it on his PC. I then zipped up all the files, including the vnu, and we ftp'd it to his PC. We then unzipped the files, started up the VSD software, and loaded the vnu. Everything looks fine except for the text box at the top of the page that says "HAMGUYPARTS.COM". In my VSD software it is correct. In his VSD software it is wrapping the .COM part to a second line, therefore throwing the look of the page off. I loaded up VSD v7 b26 on another of my PCs thinking that it may be the version but it loads up and looks OK. Any suggestions as to what may be causing this on his side? We checked display resolution between my PC and his and they are both the same. We are both running IE9 but I doubt that would be an issue inside of VSD unless we are doing a preview which we are not.
Tnx for your help.

For once, it can't be blamed on an odd font choice
Maybe try giving the text box a bit more room to the right. Highlight it (red outline), grab the right side handle a stretch it out just a bit. Make sure the photos and text box do not overlap. Highlight them to see their outlines. If they touch or overlap, spread them apart by a few pixels.
Have you looked at it in any other browsers? Make sure it looks good no matter what

Great suggestion with the stretching....but it did not work as the boxes are pretty close together as it is. Also, the browser does not come into play because it is in the actual VSD software where this is happening and not when using a browser to check the live site. I will try to do the "preview" from within VSD to see if it looks correct or if it wraps there too.

looks good in IE9, Opera and FX for me.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Arial (bold) is the only font in the code. Do both of you have it set in bold?
I would try making the page a bit wider – maybe 980 instead of 960 and then make sure there's no overlapping of text and images. There's also a <br> after the title, maybe try re-typing it without the line break?
It's good to preview in different browsers since things that look good in one might be "off" in another. Best to find out before uploading.
**While in VSD, go to Edit > Select All and see if some extra images show up. I see 2 on the home page (IMG_0.JPG and IMG_1.JPG). The other pages have some too. Some of these are tiny; like if you clicked to insert an image then changed your mind – they're just a few pixels. Best to delete everything you don't need or want on the page.

Thanks for everyones suggestions. It ended up being the display settings on the other PC were set for 125% instead of 100%.
