William,

If you make the left tekst / link block object smaller and the slide show box bigger (this wil go automaticly if you have only used 2 blocks.) Then there should be more room. (slide butons below the page creation screen in step 3)

Else create the slideshow over the whole width and set the text blok with links below it.

You could also choose to make the link block in that case more horizontale, like the footer.

Another option is to make the website wider, but this makes your header and footer also widther. this is done in step 1 template style,  choose header and set width.

Setting the main menu -also in step1, template style- as horizontal will also help.

Hope these pointers help you.

I have tried everything I can think of and it is not right.. maybe I did something in a previous verson.  Here is a screen shot with a very wide setting and I made the slide show width the maximum it said I could and it is still very small

Very strange, is the object in page creation just as wide as the page? (like in my attachement)?

I see you have made the website bigger. and moved the side objects.

yep.. mine is like that.. attached is a screen shot

This original design goes back to ver 9 so I don't know if there is a conversion issue or what..  attached is a screen shot of I site I made from scratch in 12.0 and it is fine.

Actually.. it worked with the export/import part.  I just did a Cntl/preview.. It worked and when I uploaded it it also works... very wierd why the preview would make it work.. but anyway I think it is okay now!
