WD2000: Web Page Error: "The dimensions after resizing are too small or too large."

ID: Q220367

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

After you save a Web page that contains a horizontal rule (<HR> tag) as Word 6.0/95, when you open the Word 6.0/95 document, the following error message may appear:

The dimensions after resizing are too small or too large.


CAUSE

When you save a Web page that contains an <HR> tag as Word 6.0/95, the default WIDTH attribute is ignored. That is, when the <HR> tag does not contain a WIDTH attribute, as in the following example, Word loses the default WIDTH attribute setting of 100 percent when the Web page is saved as Word 6.0/95.

<HR size=1>


WORKAROUND

To prevent this problem from occurring, add a WIDTH attribute to the <HR> tag. For example, the following <HR> tag does not cause this problem to occur after you save, close, and reopen your Web page saved as Word 6.0/95:

<HR size=1, width=100%>


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.


MORE INFORMATION

The <HR> tag in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) draws a horizontal rule. The size attribute of the <HR> tag specifies the height of the horizontal rule in pixels. For example, the following tag draws a horizontal rule 1 pixel in height:

<HR size=1>
By default, the width attribute is set to 100 percent. This width causes the width of the horizontal rule to extend the entire width of the page.
