Hello. I would appreciate your help with the following page:
http://roxannerenee.com/topics.html
If you increase the font size, you will see that the text starts to overlap midway down the page. All hr and text boxes are layered and I can’t for the life of me figure out what the problem is.
Thanks so much!

That is precisely your problem. Enlarged text causes the layered item to grow and overlap the next one down.
If you put all the text in one box you wont get this happening - or put the individual text boxes inline within another ie Box Model.
Alternatively as you are using Pro 5.5.2 you could try applying the RPL action to the page.

Can I also suggest that you do not underline text to emphasise it - in the Web World underlined text usually indicates a link and folk might think that the link is not working.

This was a designer/client disagreement! I told my client the same thing, but she insisted otherwise. Thanks for the reminder though. I’ve changed it today and maybe she won’t notice!

The reason I put the text in different boxes is that I wanted it formatted differently, i.e. bullet points, indentation, etc. Is there a simpler way to do this in one box? This is a common issue I bump up against when using FreeWay.

I did apply the RPL action and it seemed to do the trick! Do you have any advice on setting the overlap tolerance?
Thanks so much for the help David!

Who’s the designer here?

I think I could benefit from a review of when to use layered objects and when to avoid it. Does anyone know of a resource for this that is directed to FreeWay users?
Thanks,

Yes RPL seems to have done the trick.
As far as the tolerance goes - I believe the default is generally OK and you really only need to adjust if you see a problem.

It is generally accepted that they way forward is using CSS positioning (layered) and the RPL action goes a long way to sorting display issues like you have had.
