Unhappy MS Frontpage

I designed a webpage, but when view it with my browser and reduce the size of the window the content repositions to fit in
smaller window. How do I configure it so the content does not
reposition and a horizontal scroll bar for the window comes up instead, like most web sites?

the only way i can think of is to put it into a <table> tag, and set the column width to the pixel width you want it to be, then type the stuff in there..... then the text won't re-position if you re-size the window.

<table>tag was the right idea. Problem solved.
Thanx

you can use the <nobr> tag to confine all included elements to the way they should be without wrapping or adjusting to fit the window, inserting <wbr> when you need a break

eg <nobr><p>This is text and it should wrap right about here.<wbr>Wow did you see that that text wrapped right there!</p></nobr>

this is from memory so somebody correct me if im wrong

Just to add that those tags are MSDN HTML Extensions and are not valid HTML tags.

indeed, the W3C compliant way is using non breaking spaces to keep stuff together
