Your program is not equipped to generate centered pages for all screen resolutions. Sorry! Do you want to know why? PS/PM uses ABSOLUTE POSITIONING for all its web elements. When the program converts the web page project into HTML, it generates code that determines the position of every block of text and every image. The position is defined by X number of pixels from the left and Y number of pixels from the top of the screen. Check it out by opening your index.html file with NotePad. You will see a lot of code that looks like this:
The good news is that you can open you web page project, select all and move everything over to the right. This will give the illusion that the page is centered. It totally depends on the visitors' screen resolution. If they have the same screen resolution as you do, let's say 1024x768, they probably see what you see. However, if their resolution is set to 800x600, they have to scroll side to side to see the entire page width.
This brings up a very important point. If you have a very wide screen, DON'T design your page to cover the entire width of your screen. Yeah, it might look nice to you, but for everyone else with smaller screens, they have to scroll back and forth to read your text or to see an entire image. This makes your page awkward to view with a piece meal look. Ever get an e-mail attachment of a photo that spanned two screen widths? You can't even tell what the photo is supposed to be!
