wendyzskiAny Front Page users here?
I'm a Netscape Baby myself, but have to use to tools that the job gives me.
I've made a boo-boo while updating the company website (That's what they have for using a $25,000/year admin to do a specialist's job). Somehow, while updating a PDF accessed from the site, and old edit of the page got uploaded. (Don't start with me on why - because of *$%(#^$& Earthlink we have to do the edits on the remote server directly and THEN download backup copies to the local drive, which seems completely bass-ackwards to me, but nobody asked for my opinion)
I went in and re-edited the text, but somehow the buttons on the left side of the page are now twice as wide as they need to be, and I can't figure out why. Table layout was used to set up the page originally. I checked column width, table properties, and cell properties - even copying the correct-size buttons from another page and trying to paste them in. No dice.
Main page - looks right
Publications page - my booboo
Now it looks like crap for the weekend, and I guess I'm going to have to go and re-construct the page from scratch on Tuesday. Meanwhile the boss is livid, and reminding him that he gets what he pays for didn't make him feel any better.
Though I think he realized he overdid it - after I got home I found a message on my home machine wishing me a nice holiday weekend.
Any ideas as to 1) what I did and more importantly 2) What I need to do to fix it?
