To prevent a layout text box from automatically resizing in GoLive
In the Layout Text Box Inspector, select Allow Content Overflow. With this option selected, as more text is added
or reformatted, the layout text box does not resize in your page layout. This doesn't affect how it will appear in web
browsers.
Note: In a web browser, the layout text box automatically adjusts its size in relation to its content, which resizes according
to the platform that the browser is using—for example, to accommodate fonts that appear smaller in Mac OS and larger
in Windows. You can assign a pixel size definition for all text using a cascading style sheet. (See "Relative and absolute
units" on page 331.)
