Sorry I haven't done this before - how do I post a page on this forum - I am having problems getting the publication to resize when viewed on a screen res of 800 x 600 (even though I have checked the 'size to fit' setting).

I know how to export a page from the publication as a bitmap image - but will anyone be able to figure out the publication settings from that?

This seems to work with a full screen pub, not a Windowed pub with the default menu at the top.

See attachment as per Steve's instructions for CHAPTER SETINGS.

Just tried this (I assume you were telling me how to correct my re-sizing problem) and it doesn't seem to have made any difference.

My publication is windowed with a transparent background - is this the problem?

Post a small example -- it will help considerably in seeing what your problem is.
Details of how to post an attachment can be found by following the FAQ link at the top of this page.

Yes - if you use a windowed mode then the publication will open in the specified window size and will only scale if the user resizes the window.
To make the publication scale automatically you will need to set it to be a full screen publication.

Thanks, I was worried that might be the reason. I'll have to resize all of my pages to full screen - that'll keep me busy today!!

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you;re trying to do you shouldn't have to resize anything - that's what the scale option does for you.

Hi Emma,

Did you read my reply to you on the previous thread? Did my IMP sample file work for you?

Take Paul's advice and send a small sample of your publication. If your publication content is private, then simply create a mock-up sample (like my IMP file), demonstrating your problem. I have a feeling you are inadvertently doing something wrong with your settings, or the way you are using Chapters.



What do you mean "all of my pages"? -- How many Chapters have you got?

There is another option for you to consider... -- redesign your pub in 800 x 600 page size mode. Then have the resize option ticked, so it will stretch-to-fit 1024 x 768. There is also an option of "Force Screen res" and also "Auto-Scroll", but we won't get into that yet!!

Opus is so very versatile and powerful, that something should be exactly suitable for you.

It will be good when you can supply a sample. Good luck!!
(if you can't for some reason, then try and give us more info on how many chapters, etc and how your pub is structured)
