Publisher web pages are left justified by default, and there is no built in
way of centering the page or "removing" the white space.

space):

If you want to center your pages, you can edit the html code of the pages
each time you update them. The specific method of doing that depends on the
version of Publisher you are using.
Pub 2003 and 2007 from Jo and Spike:
"UNDERNEATH the <body> tag, enter (copy and paste will work) this code
you
may need to change the width)
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="1000"
align="center">
<tr>
<td>
------------------------------------
ABOVE the </body> tag, enter the following:
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Using "replace in files" I found a common point of replacement that appears
to work for me for Publisher 2007.
Sine the background changes from one publication to another I found the
closest commonality after <body>.
That turned out to be </v:background></xml><![endif]-->
Since "replace in files" needs to have the entire text on one line I made
the replacement string as shown below.
I also changed the 1000 to 800 to accommodate the 1024 X 768 settings. I
tested it with the settings:
800 X 600
1024 X 768
1440 X 900
Not perfectly centered but real close
Takes two runs of "replace in files"
Once the strings are typed in it just takes selecting the ones you want with
the drop down arrow for Find and Replace With
Find = </v:background></xml><![endif]-->
Replace With = </v:background></xml><![endif]--><table border="0"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="800" align="center"><tr><td>
Find </body>
Replace With </td></tr></table></body>
Spike"
---------------------------------
Change the width to the pixel width of your pages. If you use ReplaceInFile
the html code in your pages may vary from Spike's. Remember that you will
have to do this edit each time to each page after you make any changes in
the Publisher doc, and create new html.
