I am not 100% sure, but that might not display right on other web browsers though.
Your best bet is to go through the code, and do it from scratch like Jason said.

I am not very famliar with margin:auto. The CSS books I've read have stayed away from that.
I've worked with pixels and percents (to allow for browser resizing), but not margin:auto.
here is a decent article on Margin:auto (talking about how somoe browsers can have troubles):

They state "margin: any" might work better.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
*****************
But that means that CSS no longer has a way to center blocks. The auto margins only work if the inner block is narrower than the outer one. So how should CSS center all blocks?
-Add a new property alignment with values center and auto.
-Ditto with values center, auto, left and right.
-Add a keyword any to margin, which is like auto, but without the size restriction on centered blocks.
*****************
If it is a basic page, I would almost recommend clean straight html. Although, you can do a lot with CSS... it can be hard to make sure that every browser is compatible.
-CSS Mastery is a good CSS book to use if you are learning CSS.
-Here is a good topic for learning (in CSS) the margins, padding, and borders:

Generally speaking, you can select the element in Design View and hit the center align button on the properties panel.
If this is Publisher-based HTML, you may want to think about rebuilding it from scratch to remove all of the MS crap from the page.
