centering web pages in 2003-solution

Hi, I know this is an ongoing saga, I have read through almost every post on
this subject now and have actually found one that worked for me, I am very
sorry I forgot to make a note of who posted it but thank you very much, I
have posted it below for others to use.
my question is, when you open a site in notepad (or whatever html editor)
how do you find the code for individual pages? ie when i followed the
instructions it worked beautifully but only for the first page, i understand
i need to repeat for other pages but do not know where to find the code for
them!! Please advise

Do this:

1. Publish your website so that you have an HTML copy on your hard drive.

2. Open "index.htm" in a HTML editor, or at the worst, Notepad

3. Scroll down until you see the <body> tag

4. Underneath the <body> tag, enter this code:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="768"
align="center">
<tr>
<td>

5. Scroll all the way to the bottom until you see the </body> tag.

6. ABOVE the </body> tag, enter the following:

</td>
</tr>
</table>

Your content should now be centered. Repeat with each page.

Pink,

Yes, this will work, though for a 50 page site it will be a lot of work.
If Pub used a Master Page correctly (which I understand it does not) you
could put this on it.

Keep in mind, you will have to do this each time you update a page and
you will probably have to use FTP to upload your files.

In addition to what Mike said, your other pages are contained in the
index_files folder assuming that you are using Pub 2003 and using the
subfolder.

Thanks David, had already found them but in the end decided to change
everything around so that i have one publisher file for one page, especially
as many parts of the site will need to be updated regularly.
I have learnt so much building this site and thank everybody who has helped
me as i have been a regular visitor to this forum!!
I am soon to learn front page as i think that I have about pushed publisher
to its limits but for anyone who is interested take a look at (an almost
finished site!) www.theplatforms.co.uk btw it is meant to be wild and in your
face!

Sarah,

I understand band sites are usually at the edge or breaking good web
design ideas. However, looking at the site from the eyes of someone
interested in finding out where they play next, I would expect a button
to skip the flash intro.

Secondly, on the page with the songs, video and reviews, with the player
on the page, I expected the Gig reviews to be some kind of an audio
file, not a pdf.

The video is almost 10 meg - even with broadband, that's a large file to
wait for downloading. I may be wrong, but I think there are ways the
file can start playing before it is completely downloaded. I know there
is for mp3 files (it's called a m3u file. It's nothing but a simple text
file that lists the link of the file you want to play).

Lastly, you use slide show and Slideshow on the same page.

Nevertheless, I thought it was a decent job!

Tee hee...Mike, you gotta quit staring at computer screens so much...older
eyes and all that. You must of missed the "to go directly to ....click
here". ;-)
