I find myself gravitating towards graphic copy when I do layouts because many times when I use html copy, everything looks spaced fine in a Freeway Pro layout, but when I upload…I often get overlapping copy.
So, I must go back to my layout and “guess” at how much blank space to leave between elements.
I really would like to have an exact way to layout my copy so that I can KNOW what it will look like when published, without having to guess at blank space.
The simplest way around this problem? Make your main HTML text boxes
unlayered; uncheck the Layer checkbox for each one. Then they’ll sit
‘flat on the page’, and if one grows it wil push the next down along
with it.
There are other ways around this, including the powerful but damn
quirky ‘box-model layout’ technique. Don’t start there, see if you
can solve your problem more simply for now.
