    hi. i learned indesign for about 3-4 months. Now it is aciton time. i want to design an interactive magazine. it will be full with mostly long articles and few amount pictures. i will publish this as i site under a domain, probably i will do it as a swf and downloadable pdf version (not html).i want this very easy readable. My question is the size, as below you can see different size's, i write them in order that i choose. Can you plesase help about the size.

    1.760×800 This fits to my 15¨screen well (i like it)

    2.1024×768 This one is generally recomended size but height is short

    3.960×600 This size is recomended by a frien but this can not be so usefull i think

    You should design to a larger size. Very few users (relatively speaking) are on 1024×768 screens. 1280×1024 is about the low end of 4:3 screens, and the dominant sizes are in 16:9 ratios for both desktop and laptop screens. If you don't watch the user to have to scroll down, you'll be safe with a max height of 800 px, and let the width fit the aspect ratio you choose.

    Thanks for your reply, in larger sizes it does not fit the browser window because i will do this in facing pages mode. And i saw that i have to zoom a part of it when i want to read. is there any solution for this (maybe fit to screen choice)
