it depends on what resolution you are using. Some people use percentages and
some might use something like 760-770 in one main table or divide for those
users still on 800X600 resolution

You don't really resize a page, you constain it. The page itself has no
dimensional restrictions, it's basically a canvas that will shrink or expand
with the browser. To constrain the dimensions you need to create a table.
This table need only have one cell (1 column by 1 row). You can then set
that table to be a particular width, such as 760 to be able to fit within a
800x600 resolution (assuming the browser is maximized to that) and allows
for a vertical scrollbar. You can also use a percentage and this will change
the width of the table depending on the browser size. Using a width though
gives you far less control though over the general layout as things can
stretch out a bit oddly if the user has a large monitor.

1st: you can not be using Shared Borders / Themes.
2nd: Insert a table set to 100% width to each page
3rd: Move your current page content into the inserted table.

You could try inserting the margin to the page globally by doing
something like this:

<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {margin: 3em}
</style>
</head>

I suggest insert the above style code between the head tags and see what
happens. I must emphasize this is the not the only way to define margin
but it is worth giving a try.
