We want to make the area of text more narrow

[cgfrosty]

Hi,
We use webHelp as primary output.
How can I restrict the area of text from the right side?
We want to make the area of text more narrow, not equal to the width of the screen.

The only way that comes to mind is to set your margin-right for the paragraph tag in your style sheet. You may also have to set this for other styles, too. Unless you can add a blank (clear) image to the right side of your MasterPage, but that might cause some issues with short and long topics, especially if you have a footer. The image may force the page size.

Hi cgfrosty,
In your stylesheet, you can set the body tag's width property. For example, you could set it to 500px. If the browser window is wider than 500px, there will be extra space on the left. you can also use percentages, such as 80%.

If you set the body tag's width, make sure your tables fit OK. Also, you may want to set the width back to 100% for print targets. To set the width only for online targets, you can use the non-print medium.

hope this helps,
