Rookie Questions?
 

Do you guys have time for them here?

I have created a single web page with Microsoft Publisher.
I have some experience with HTML-Kit and use it to "tweak".
It's a simple page, and get across exactly what I need.

What I would like for it to do that it does not do is center the page on
whatever monitor it
is opened on. Right now the whole page justifies to the left.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks,
jojo

Number one: Stop using MS Publisher to produce HTML.

I'm not the only one who is going to tell you this. If you really are a
rookie, then just accept this as gospel and do it. (Well, don't just
accept it 100% --I (and others) will explain why if you ask.)

If you point us to the web page, we can tell you the easiest way to center
the content. It could be as simple as a <center> ... </center> around the
content. In the long run, CSS is the way to go.

Just use a text editor.
Here are free resources for learning HTML and CSS.
A few nights reading should get you going.
WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors REALLY
aren't the way to start.
They are safe to use only AFTER you know HTML and CSS.

Please do not respond or buy stuff from Spam (unsolicited emails). It just
encourages more spam and impacts everyone else not just you.

Notepad tends to force oneself to be as simple as possible because it is a
drag not to be... But maybe - after a little while - some text editor with
some macros are good (to make key commands for the common tags), that can
display line numbers and be adjusted for different window views. I use
BBEdit on a Mac, an old text editor now. There would be things for PC work,
but if it has too fancy everything or any claim to being a bit wsiwig, then
you lose valuable simplicity and so control...

Even though I think he meant postal mail, here's something good on not
supporting spammers. Swipe or link at will.
