Pages centered in design view?

[Peter Panino]

Hi! In Current Site Options I have checked the option Center Site in Browser. However, in design view the pages are still left-aligned. So how can I make the pages in design view centered too?

The page has to be left aligned in design view.

Why does it have to be left aligned?

The entire layout area as a whole will be centered in the browser, not the individual elements. The relative alignment of the layout area to the left is irrelevant in that regard, and more efficiently uses the screen real estate.

But it would be nice to have a WYSIWYG page view. Look at MS Word, or OpenOffice Writer or other page-oriented design programs: They all have a horizontally centered page view.

Get over it.

The rulers are anchored to the top left corner. Meaning the page is as well.

Comparing web design to word processors isn't really relevant and rather pointless.

Well, it is WYSIWYG as far as the layout is concerned. That's the point of NOF. If you want something centered in your layout, you put it in the center.

The only thing that happens when you check "Center on Page" is you have blank space on either side of your layout when viewed in the browser. Nothing moves to the center because that would not be WYSIWYG.

If you want to see it as it would be published, click "Preview" or do a local publish.

I want to see it as it would be published in the design view. Is That Asking Too Much?

I think if you select Preview and select one of your browsers it shows as it will when published.

I have been having problems all day with one page (one that I added). When previewing, all the pages are centered in the browser (as desired) except for the page I added. Can you tell me where I went wrong? Thanks.
