How can I make my web page narrower with Microsoft Front Page?

I'm trying to rebuild my website using Front Page & finding it really hard! When I build it the page looks a certain size, but when I publish it it goes soooo wide. How can I make sure this doesn't happen?
Thanks

The best way to control the width of your layout is using tables. Plain and simple. Even if you create a one row, one column table that is set to a specific size and put all your content in there you are way ahead of most ppl already. It's much more efficient thatn using a div tag (and more stable) and it saves the time of creating an external style sheet (css isn't always the way to go).

Examples:

web content here

That will create a table that's 500 pixels wide and is aligned to the center of the monitor. You can also use percentages

web content here

That will create a table that's 85% of the width of the monitor. So a larger monitor will display a larger layout.

Don't inline style, use an external style sheet. If that is beyond your web design knowledge, then use an internal stylesheet, if that still is too much, then use the example above. Something I don't recommend. Separate style from presentation.

Stop using FP, it's a piece of junk and all it does is throw in bloated, unnecessary code. Try Dreamweaver or some free wysiwyg like EditPlus, jEdit or PHP Designer 2007.

In HTML view, IMMEDIATELY AFTER the tag, add this:

and IMMEDIATELY BEFORE the tag, add this:

That will set your page to 720 pixels wide. Change the number to expand or shrink the page.
