I've tried both of the suggestions you provide and surprisingly the bottoms
still get cut off. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,

mle,

Perhaps misspell each word with long letters. ;-)

Choose different text for the link...try to get the link text all on one
line.

Try removing the bold formatting and different font combinations in the 10
or larger pt size. As an example, I found that Arial 11, no bold, top
aligned seems to work when I tested it for "Formulario para Escuelas y
Colegios", and it seems easier to read than Comic Sans MS font size 10,
bold. Trebuchet, font size 11, bold also works. Try different combinations
until you find one you can live with...and fits.

This is one of those times where you might have to make tradeoffs if you
want the convenience of the navbar wizard. As Mary indicated, though some of
the letters are cropped, the words are still understandable, and perhaps you
could live with that...or change the font and bold combinations. I like
larger font sizes for my oldererer eyes, but you might have to live with
smaller font sizes, if you have to use Comic.

Finally, if you can live without the navbar wizard you could rebuild your
navbar manually with the individual text boxes sized as you want. I can give
you some instructions on how to do this if you want to go this route, but
fair warning, it will be a bit tedious and involved. Try at least changing
bold to normal, and perhaps different fonts first...that would be a lot
easier.
