Above we have the breathtakingly helpful reply by someone unable to make any contribution to better use of SeaMonkey, AFAIAC. We surely all enjoy helpful advice to make us all understand the Web better, and expressed in simple language without needing a university degree. SeaMonkey NERDS are sort of like the brave professorial types who might stand up to give a lecture for 1/2 an hour without any member of his audience having any idea what he is saying. I'm sure you've been at colleges and schools where teachers put you off to sleep. But I digress. 2 days back I made up a web page using only MS Word, complete with images. http://www.turneraudio.com.au/80W-AB1-amp-2014.html It worked fine on my local disc browsers with Firefox, and Chrome. So I posted it up to my website and then some images were shown and some were not, and after a few hours of mucking about re-inserting images images and trialing the re-posted page, I gave up. Nerds had won. Then I copied all text into a Windows Notepad file, and saved it on my C-drive as a "rich text doc". About 30kB. I'd redone the line wrapping, took awhile. Then I got rid of the web-page html folder and its files from my site. Then I started a new SeaMonkey composer and pasted the contents of Notepad into the new page, and of course formatting all vanished, so I went right down the page to wrap lines in Composer manually because I don't know how to make text wrap so it looks well on a 40cm screen OR a 250cm screen. I'd also discovered that once you have selected an image you want to include in a page, you ALSO can determine its size on the page, but while retaining all the picture info. This is done by selecting 'image size' then click dot at 'custom', and adjusting pixels to anything you want, and this way I get my images to look much better with the text. I did minimum alteration and editing to text in Composer, maybe its better not to edit too much lest you confuse the poor little darling. Finally, I checked to see if page worked on local 2 local browsers, yes, all OK, images now have the size I want, except that Firefox won't show different page colors or text colours. I can live with that. Then I posted up the completed re-done page and it seems to work OK when I browse it from my website via the Internet, ie, online. So, until I have another horrible problem I might just STFU and keep on cruisin' through my life without needing to learn all about how to do html manually.
