You can use frontpage on a CRT monitor and still get exactly what you are looking for. I use MSexpression (the later version of FP) and I get the results that I want.. You need to start experimenting with tables for layout. Start looking at web-design more scientifically.
#1 - change your resolution to 1024 by 786 before you start designing unless your site is targeted towards tech-retarded people.
#2 - Sketch your web-site template on a piece of notebook paper and define in pixels exactly where you want everything to go, keeping in mind that some people use 800 by 600. This means even know you are designing in 1024 by 786 you still want to keep your text within the 800 pixels and DEFINITIVELY keep your call to action above the 600px mark.
#3 - use frontpage and before you start designing setup all of your tables and cells (right click and hit properties) to the pixels that you have figured out in your sketch.
When I started I was an html idiot so don't feel bad. There is an AWESOME guide to logo design and website design in this thread:
http://www.wickedfire.com/design-de...webdesign-development-tutorial-check-out.html
I never had an interest in coding HTML(although I can code a page by hand) when I can use a WYSIWYG editor to do it faster than I could code, so I ignored the last section of the guide above and setup my page in MS Expression(use front page), with tables and what not.
Anyways.. here is a concise answer to your exact question..
If you want the header centered and the text to align with it do this:
Setup a table in frontpage 2 rows by 1 column.. make sure to set the alignment to center on the table and set the width of the table to the width of the header. Put your header in cell 1,1 and put your article in cell 1,2. Easy as sunday morning.
Yes Jelf, the post does seem a little questionable and probably should be in the newbie section.. no offense UB
