Changing the Length of your WebPages (L2)

Like many actions taken while building your website consider the implications. Pause and think about the overall effect.  For example, if you choose to change the length of all your webpages but have varying amount of text on each this effect might be messy having an unfinished appearance.  Alternatively, you could change the page length on a page by page bases thus retaining a balanced and professional look on your website. See Additional Resources for more information.

Level Of Difficulty: Intermediate (L-2)

Preparation:

a. Decide whether you want to change the length to a specific page(s) or to all pages on your website.

b. Select and copy the text that you want to paste on to the web page.

Start:
1. Go to the web page -> Insert -> Body Text
Notice the Height of the text you have just pasted on your web page.  In my example I have a text with 1200 pixels in height.

2. In Edit, go to the top Menu and click on Edit -> Page Settings

3. In Page Settings click on Page Length to reveal the existing length of your webpage.  In this example  it is 860 pixels. 860 pixels includes from the top to the bottom of the web page.

4. In this example the web page length is 860 pixels and the text is 1200 pixels therefore much of the text will be off page and not seen.

5. To solve this you must change the page settings to at least 1500 pixels. Click OK.
Note: Click Apply this Length to All Pages if this is your plan.

6. Save and test. Repeat the above steps to make necessary adjustments.
