thanks everyone, suppose ill have to continue using tables. i do find them
a pain though and a bit restrictive on the creative side. I mightl try the
idea of creating a table and then using relative positioning of layers to
see what happens.
As a second thought, i suppose i could import the page into Dreamweaver and
then convert layers to tables and then set the properties of the table to be
centred and a set size and then either keep the web page like that or even
convert the page back to layers in case i want to amend them later!!
Phew! - i think ill just stick to tables.
Thanks
Daisy
