Centering page on screen

I have several websites I'd like to update. I like the look of a page
centered on the screen, like this: www.noteworthyevents.com

I believe it's set up this way by fixing the resolution size of the page and
centering the frame.

I'd like to redesign my own business site to appear on the screen like this
example. My site is www.wordartsolutions.com. It was created using FP's
Corporate Presence template.

Is there a way to format my pages so that they appear centered on all
screens and browsers?

The simplest way is to put all of the content in a single-cell table, set to
a width of about 780 pixels, and center the table.

Thanks, P@tty. I rather figured this was the case, but these websites are
currently designed using a FP template. Is there a way I can addess the style
sheets so that I can do this.

Or, do I need to begin from scratch?

Depending upon what's in the pages, it might or might not work to just wrap
it all in a table. It might be best to start from scratch if you're not
sure..

If you are using a theme, then your job will be much harder - you will have
to actually edit the theme to produce a variant with centered content, and
then apply that variant to your pages. I think.

If the sites are currently using FP themes w/ shared borders, you will not be able to center the
entire page content on the page.
