Have you asked Brian Dunning these questions?

[Rick DeCollo]

yes, he will not reply.

I don't own a copy, and the demo version is locked down.

However, these appear to use container fields. Do you have access to the Layout Mode?

[Rick DeCollo]

yes

Are you going to try and do this, one word at a time?

Unless a fellow member, who happens to own this file, and jumps in here, then you are going to have to do a lot of the digging, exploring, etc. on your own.

With that said, replying with one word answers will not keep me interested very long in helping you either.

It sounds like you can change this. One question I didn't ask before, was if there was a user preference file that allowed for this to be done? If not, just open the layout and investigate. Look at the fields, and see what the Define fields tell you.

Use a back up copy and try different things. AND, keep after Brian for his help.

Use my solution. Very easy control over width, height and color. It uses the webviewer to display a very small html file.
