Centering a Web Page

[schongresh]

I am designing and posting my first website. I am using MS Publisher
and am uploading files to a godaddy hosted domain. The problem I am
experiencing is when viewing the website the body is all the way to
right and I have to scroll over to get to the center. I have
downloaded an html editor (and used word pad) to try and center the
page where it's supposed to be, but I am not getting anywhere. I have
only a vague notion of the html language. Could someone please explain
why my pages in MS Pub cannot be automatically aligned and perhaps a
detailed script and method for editing my htm files to get them in the
right postion.

Thanks in advance for your help

Don will be along with a workaround for some versions of Publisher. Which
version are you using?

The workaround that Don has works only for versions up through 2002. Sorry.

dunno about publisher, but if you use nvu or mozilla editor, you puth
the content in a table, set the table attributes(i.e. width, height etc)
and then select the table alignment as centerwill give you something
like this:

Here the webpage is all the way to the left, a Publisher norm. The only
Publisher website that I know of that can be centered is one created with
Publisher 2000, i.e. www.vanusa.org.
