Marquee
FrontPage Marquees will not scroll in NN
Creating a scrolling marquee in FP is as easy as clicking a few
buttons, typing a little text, and pushing OK! The biggest decisions you are
going to have to make is how to say as much as you want to say in just a few
words.
Lets start by clicking the Insert Component Icon.
Also available from the Menu Bar - Insert - Component - Marquee.
From the fly-out choose Marquee. A dialog box will appear.
Click
to view it full size.
The easiest way to control the placement of your marquee is to put it in a
table. (The positions of almost any page element can be controlled most
effectively in tables.)
Above you will see just a single celled table. We'll put our Marquee in it.
The Marquee above was created just by placing the curser in the center of the
table, clicking to bring the Marquee dialog box open as described above, and the
text typed into the text box. Then I clicked OK. It is the simplest of marquees.
Let's explore some of the things we can do to create a marquee that will
stand out among marquees! Let's get fun and get bold and garish!
Ok...We'll start with our table to control position.

Take a look at the next row of choices.
Direction - Let's stick with Left (English reads
left to right)
Speed - Again, lets stick with the default, it
goes across the window at a nice readable speed.

Behavior - Let's make it Alternate.
Slide is particularly useful when you want a row of text to slide
into the page and stop.
Scroll will produce the effect you saw in the marquee above.
Align with text - We'll put it in the middle.
If you do not put your marquee in a table, it will line itself with the
text on the page. You will loose control of positioning, no matter what
you put here.
