Can someone tell me how to set up the following page to be able fill the
entire page so that the table that houses all the content is full page rather
than part of the page. the page is:
http://shirleysrecipes.awardspace.biz/printlemonpoundcake.htm

Thank you,
From: Ronx on
Change
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="640" height="1469"
bordercolorlight="#000080" bordercolordark="#000080">

to

<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"
bordercolorlight="#000080" bordercolordark="#000080">

The height attribute in a <table> tag is illegal HTML (though FrontPage
sticks it in anyway), and bordercolorlight and bordercolordark will both be
ignored by all browsers except IE.

I tried to set the width of the table at 100% and the height undetermined as
you can see in http://shirleysrecipes.awardspace.biz/printlemonpoundcake.htm.
The problem is that it make one of main site navigation links on the left get
forced to the next line which i don't like. ow can i fix that but still keep
the size at 100%? Also, my numbered list wants to span to far over into the
last cell of the table. How can I make the numbered lst line up flush with
the outside main site navigation border?

Thank you,

If this page is ONLY for printing then I would remove the navigation column
altogether - it's hard to navigate from a piece of paper without having the
entire link to copy.

If, on the other hand, it's a page for the website then I would not allow
the main column to exceed 650px width. it is difficult to read a line of
text that is more than about 6 or 7 inches in width on paper, or 600-700 px
width on the screen.

To fix your navigation column problem, either reduce the font size (my 1st
choice) or make the column wider. Change the font to size="3".

The page http://shirleysrecipes.awardspace.biz/lemonpoundcake.htm is much
too wide for my 1280px wide monitor. The last thing you want is a bottom
scrollbar when there is none required. The lines of text in the recipe are
too long for comfortable reading. And the navigation is too busy - remove
the background image from behind the buttons.

Take a look at

and try File->Print Preview in Internet Explorer to see the printable
version.

why not just make the recipes .pdf files?
