[Pro] Mark - Up Mess

This thread was repeated because there seems to be no editing or deleting in this software.

Whenever I add mark up items to a page it rearranges things. I have to rearrange the page to get to everything readable. Many time it creates gaps between text or graphics.

Is there a workaround, so I can add stuff without this inconvenience?

Thanks, Glenn

This depends on the markup, and also the type of item (table or layer
based) you are using. If the markup is generating something in the
output that is larger than the item in Freeway then it will cause
things to move around. The basic reason behind this is that Freeway
generates a structure for your page based on the size of items in
Freeway, it doesn’t read the code you are using and make a structure
based on that.

An example, if you have some markup that is displaying a Flash video
with dimensions 640400, yet your markup item is only 300300, then
the end result is going to be larger both horizontally and vertically
causing the structure to be pushed around. Think of it like buying a
flat pack house, you phone in the order and give the dimensions that
you think you want, but unless you measure up the area you’re
probably going to have to move things around to make it fit.

I hope this helps.

That’s because a fair number of us receive these messages by email.
Editing posts on the site isn’t really compatible with that! But
don’t worry, we don’t fuss about hiccups like this. :slight_smile:

If you add something to the page that has a known size (width and/or
height) then make the markup item object that same size. Otherwise
you get the content bursting out of the space that was set aside for
it in the page layout.

If you don’t know the size ahead of time you’ll need to preview the
page design and then go back to the layout and adjust the size of the
markup item to accommodate the space it requires.

Does this help?
