Centering the web page in Microsoft Publisher 2007

Does anyone know how to center the web page in the browser? It always
comes up left justified when I publish. Ideally I would like to have
the web page center with a colored background (www.barackobama.com for
example). If anyone has any ideas let me know. Also, if this is just
too much for Publisher to handle let me know and I will breakdown and
buy a better website design program.

Thanks!!

If you are using Publisher 2002 or older, then Don's answer to this FAQ will
work:

"I use Publisher 2000 and it also creates websites left justified. I also
add the <center> code to my html files but I do it the easy way; I use a
little free program, ReplaceInFiles.

This works only for websites created with Publisher 2000 (fairly certain)

Each of your html files requires adding the <center> code after the existing
<head> code.

You can go into each html file and do it manually or get the free
Replaceinfiles program
and make it an easy chore.

"ReplaceInFiles" can be downloaded from:

<http://www.emurasoft.com/index.htm>

The four boxes require the following information:

Find: <head>
Replace with: <head> <center>
File Types: *.html
In Folder:
(use the button to go to the folder where the html files are located on your
drive)

The bottom four boxes can be left blank.

Note: Once the boxes are filled out, the entries are retained for the next
time you use the program.

P.S. One of the kind visitors of this news group told us of Replaceinfiles
program some time ago; 'Sorry I forgot the individual's name. (Another
unsung hero)."

Publisher 2002 also? Good to know. I'll update my prepared statement.
Thanks David.

That is what I understood from what Spike said in the thread where I copied
your post...could be wrong...wouldn't be the first time ;-) In fact, I was
surprised as I thought the html coding engine in 2002 was much the same in
2003 <shrug>.
