I'm new, so please be nice, and simple.[nbsp][nbsp]I designed my website using MS Publisher with a 15 inch monitor (7 inch margins).[nbsp][nbsp]It looks exactly the way I want it to on my computer, but when I check on on a friend's big screen monitor, it's as if my margins have been squished and all my type formatting gets rearranged.[nbsp][nbsp]Question:[nbsp][nbsp]Is there a way, with html or otherwise, to just have the thing centered on the screen no matter what size montior it is viwed on?[nbsp][nbsp]I'm sending it to potential employers, so it is extremely important.

Hi,

that's relatively easy to accomplish. Just place a table around your whole html-code and give that table a fixed width. You can then center that table so that it looks ok in all screen resolutions.

eg.
<center>
<table border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;630&quot;><tr><td>
.... your current code goes here ....
</td></tr></table>
</center>

For enhanced features, you can try to add IE special attributes to allow fast rendering.

I designed my www.tickerland.com (http://www.tickerland.com) site this way.
