Paul, Yes, you can link to a PDF file, and link from within that file to other browser compatible files. The downside is the heavier server load, with the exception of the HTML file to PDF example you originally provided. The reason for asking to see the file was to try and understand how MS Word had made such a hash in converting the spreadsheet data in the first place.

Vanessa, With a <!doctype html> you are using HTML5 syntax; meaning that a lot of HTML3/4 markup is no longer required and is deprecated. This means that many inline attributes are now consigned to the CSS, which essentially means for a group of images, e.g. the buttons, one CSS declaration covers them all. There is one essential meta tag, i.e. <meta charset="utf-8">, and any other meta tags should be in the following format:- <meta name="copyright" content="© XYZ 2019"> Note the "name" & "content" attributes. Many meta tags will currently not validate, and this is really not a problem as the rendering of the page content is completely unaffected. The declaration of lang type is not allowed in a meta tag. The lang declaration can now be in any HTML tag, and the most common place to do it is:- <!doctype html> <html lang="en-us"> - and if you need to have a paragraph of French, then <p lang="fr"> is the way to go. Images now don't auto render with borders. Rendering borders requires a specific CSS declaration. For the purposes of designing a layout, the img 'alt' attribute text can be styled and the desired img outline shown without loading images; see the first img tag in the CSS. The 'type' attribute is generally deprecated, e.g. <style type="text/css"> is now <style>, as the browser auto detects what it is dealing with. When writing up lots of CSS you get to know many shortcuts, and a few common ones are:- 1.. Where possible use 3 letter/digit declarations for hex colors, e.g #FFF and #006 instead of #FFFFFF and #000066. 2.. Also, padding-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 10px; becomes - padding: 5px 0 10px 0; 3.. Likewise, margin: 10px auto 10px auto; simplifies to - margin: 10px auto; 4.. A zero value; e.g. margin: 0; doesn't require a unit designator, as 0 is nothing of anything and everything. Overall, you did very well getting to the point where you got "stuck". My golden rule of thumb is; if it doesn't work, check and recheck the syntax / spelling in both markup and CSS. Here is your layout including 'adjustments' by me. http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~bristowe/misc/test/vanessa-20190212.html P.S. The RW footer has an "unused" div, i.e. <div id="footer" class="footer"> which is not closed. This div uses the generic id and class of "footer", which means that your #footer style declarations are inherited by the RW div. To overcome that problem, I have included a small script before the </body> tag. Use it or change your "footer" name to something else, e.g. "vsFooter", and don't forget to change the markup id. Hopefully, someone at RW will remove the offending div, and the problem will go away.

Barry, Thanks for the offer, but I'm not looking to clean up the underlying code, as I would have to re-clean it every time I maintain my Word tables via MS-Word. I was more wondering if I converted my Word pages to PDF. Can PDFs be used as web pages? Or do they have to be converted from PDF back to HMTL? Thanks.

Good work Vanessa I never got my head around Dynamic templates but I have grasped some CSS and SSI. I use Sharepoint Designer and my own templates for my differing subject pages The folk on this list have been a great help. When our Pages came back (thank you Rootsweb) I changed to html5 which is easier and also managed to make my pages mobile friendly. Google said so. and also has indexed my site so I hope new cousins will start finding me again This is a page I wrote to remind me of what I did it might give you some ideas http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~lankshear/genealogy/fhlinks/techforthisweb.htm I have two banner mastheads. the second changes for differing subjects like Lankshear vs Eagle families or my Genealogy links The First masthead links to these differing subjects from Ron Lankshear http://sites.rootsweb.com/~lankshear On 12/02/2019 4:36 am, Vanessa Stern wrote: > I've spent the past week trying to teach myself > Expression Web and CSS.

Look at this page and view the source code. https://www.expression-web-tutorials.com/winter-mobile/template-info.html This will give you an idea of how the write the code so that it displays correctly. This is the style sheet for that design https://www.expression-web-tutorials.com/winter-mobile/styles/site.css As you go along if you comment your styles, it might help. Same with the actual html code. Please feel free to ask questions about EW. And if you are just beginning to use it, I can send you some other resources.

Vanessa, just looking over your code, I see the following mistakes. You have defined your styles but in writing the code for the various divs you left out part of it. Should be written as ... <div id="container"> <div id="masthead">.. Go through and correct those. Also you have an opening body tag right after the footer div that you need to remove. See if that helps any.

Hello Vanessa, One thing that jumps out at me is that you need to add 'id ' after the word 'div' - namely <div id="footer">. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Mon, 11 Feb 2019 at 17:36, Vanessa Stern <vrstern@earthlink.net> wrote: > I've spent the past week trying to teach myself > Expression Web and CSS.

It is not true that links using your original URL will not work. Ancestry has set things up so people clicking on those outdated links are redirected to the new URLs. Anne's team was working on restoring all the old sites, whether or not we contacted them, so it is possible yours just was not gotten to.
This was from an earlier posting: "If your email has changed since you created the account, and you can no longer receive mail at the original email address write to annerootsweb@gmail.com [mailto:annerootsweb@gmail.com] for assistance." Anne will need to know your site name and the new email address, usually the one you write to her from.

No problem updating like file types. I am a novice and used the old file manager which was easy to link files. This is a major headache for me (an old Senior citizen) and making it as far as I have in just updating existing files using ftp is a major accomplishment! I use blue dragon for making changes to already existing docs, and gave been able to do that just fine. I have no clue on changing links from one type of document to another.
