Limit page width

[Deleted user]

is it possible to set a page width on a confluence page?

I notice that the width of an articl on the confluence knowlege base itself is limited to 940px and I am trying to replicate something similar.

Ref page with fixed width,

Was hopeing to do this without CSS, in the end i had to alter my designs to fit the limitation rather than change the CSS manually.

Hi Brett Evans

I wonder where to put the CSS you mentioned above, as I tried to put in a CSS file then import but I failed.

It is great if you can show the full path to the file you add the CSS.

Thanks in advance :)

I do not have edit rights to the particular page, so I can not see exactly what they have done. I assume they have made use of a column, which you can define to cover a set percentage of a page or a fixed amount of pixels. The column itself is being aligned in the center of the page. Please have a look at this page for more details on page layout and column width.

I tried that with no joy,

if you go to tools, view source you can see they havent nested everything in a column.

looking at the CSS it looks to be in the CSS on the main section in the custom.css file but I'm unsure how to add something like this to my setup?

/***************************************************
** MAIN 
***************************************************/

body#tinymce.fullsize, 
#main 
{
  margin        : 0 auto;
  width         : 940px;
  border        : 0;
  padding       : 20px;
  min-height    : 40em;
 }

Cheers,

Brett
