Centering problems for widescreen

Hello -
I'm on FP 2003 here. I've converted a site to DWT's and am happy with the
results for the most part. Some parts are really in need of corrections. For
instance on the "audio clip" pages (see an example published audio-clips
page at www.westwindentertainment.com/GSBaudio.htm , I have a 2 small
duplicate photos/images centered in two separate end cells of a simple three
(3) column/one (1) row table. In an 800 x 600 browser and a 1024 x 768
browser everything looks centered and ok. But on my widescreen laptop, not
only are these photos off-center, but the text in the middle cell (editable
content) is also off-center.
Now I'm finding that alot of times specifying a cell width in pixels will
cause this, because I've fixed several glaring problems with this by going
into cell properties and Un-checking the specify width box. For some reason,
doing this will often correct anything that's off center. But this audio
table is one that I'd like to have the width specified on, if possible.
I appreciate any help or assistance. Thanks,...Frank

Don't use the formatting bar to center images in cells
(it adds a P tags which affect cell spacing)

As in
<td width="120" bgcolor="#000080">
<p align="center"><img border="0" src="cdCLIPART.JPG" width="88" height="62"></td>
Use cell properties and Picture properties for alignment
<td width="120" bgcolor="#000080" align="center"><img border="0" src="cdCLIPART.JPG" width="88" height="62" align="middle"></td>

And you have stray font formatting in the cell which will affect appearance
As in
<td width="343" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" align="center">
<p align="center"><b><font size="4">&nbsp;</font>AUDIO CLIPS </b></p>
<p align="center"><b>THE GREAT SOCIETY</b></p>
<p align="center"><b>BAND&nbsp; </b></p>
</td>
Which cleaned up should be
<th width="343" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" align="center">
<p align="center">AUDIO CLIPS</p>
<p align="center">THE GREAT SOCIETY</p>
<p align="center">BAND</p>
</th>

PS
Don't use spaces in your editable region names
Audio Links becomes Audio%20Links
- use under_scores as in Audio_Links
