When adding objects (images, flash pieces, tables, graphs, or charts) other than text to a Web page in Collage, it is helpful to know how wide the object needs to be in order to fit within a column in both the 2 and 3 column template layouts.   Here are some guidelines:

  • For a two-column layout, a width of 550 pixels is a safe maximum.

  • For a three-column layout, a width of 380 pixels is a safe maximum.
  • For a three-column layout, a width of 170 pixels is required to exactly fill up the right-hand column, such as for a banner ad or channel.
