The most important things to remember when creating content with
MS Word to be posted on the web.
|
|
|
The entire document should consist of
tables with columns used to provide horizontal spacing and
alignment. Tables when translated to HTML hold their formatting
almost perfectly. |
|
|
When the number of columns needed to
organize the data needs to be different than previously, a new table
with the appropriate number of columns should be used as opposed to
using the same table with the rows split into additional columns.
The reason for this is that Word will allow any number of columns
within the same table to have different widths. HTML forces all the
column edges to line up. For example all rows that have three
columns will align with all other rows that have three columns no
matter where they are located in the same table. Four with four,
but the third with the other thirds, etc. |
|
|
The use of spaces and tabs for
formatting in the Word document should NOT
be used. The use of columns and multiple tables will, when properly
done eliminate the need for spaces and tabs. HTML will sometimes
eliminate spaces and tabs may not be rendered the same on every
machine. |

Photos
|

|
A collection of all the MCC players is available for
Newsletter use. The photos are sized to be 180 pixels wide
with the height kept in proportion to what ever size they naturally
are. This size allows it to fit within a Word template file
with a borderless table with four cells across. The 180 pixels
is approximately 2 inches wide. It is very easy to generate
all the photos at a different width if necessary. It is
recommended that photos only be resized downward in Word and never
stretched bigger. Stretching bigger will always result in
distortion. Therefore, you should request the photos at the
maximum size you might need them. If you only need a few
that are larger you can download the larger image from the club Face
Book collection. |
