Page rescaling

My web site consists of a combination of Publisher created pages and links
out to Flash applications. The problem is that I created the Publisher pages
at far too large a size (1680 x 1050). These all look great on my computer
but on the majority of computers with lower resolutions they appear too big
and there is an awful lot of scrolling to be done. The Flash applications are
not a problem as they resize automatically according to browser settings,
but is there a way of reducing the size of the publisher pages in bulk,
rather than redoing the whole site at a lower resolution and changing the
size of each element.

Also is there a way of getting a navigation bar cell to open pages in a new
window, other than disabling it's default link and hotspotting the area with
a code fragment.

Thanks

Robert

Whew...I can see why you want to resize your page, given the default size is
760 pixels wide. You can resize the page under page setup, but all the
design elements will have to be laid out to fit the new size. Alternatively
you could open a second instance, and copy and paste between them, but the
design elements will not automatically rescale.

If you use the navbar wizard, you cannot change the way it writes links. If
you want custom features, build your own navbar.
