eWhisper, we usually just use comments, and let the questioner decide on what's a good answer.
Proposing an answer locks the question, which means that most people won't look at it, which means that there's little if no more discussion -- and no more comments that might be better answers.
Without seeing how his page is set up, you have no way of knowing if what you proposed would even work, or if it's not already done that way.
And, FWIW, mixing percentages and pixels in a table can cause very strange things, especially in Netscape. Plus if you use percentage for the table width, it will resize with the browser window, which can throw everything all off -- which is exactly what they're trying to avoid.

Pick up any HTML book, HTML for dummies, is a good one, or join the HTML Classes at barnes and noble university http://www.barnesandnobleuniversity.com/ and learn html basics in just a few weeks.
Also HTML validator from www.w3.org will help you a lot. Download HTML validator, then goto html view in frontpage, select all, copy, then paste in notepad. Run the validator, it will tell you what errors your page has that arent html complient. For every webbot, you will get an error as it does not validate frontpage tags, these you can ignore, but any tags with table or cell problems will lead you towards fixing your page.
Now for an actual answer... If you are using a lot of pictures on the site. Create a table with a 100% width, and put one pic in each cell. Then right click on the documeent inside each cell, select cell properties and change the width to pixels instead of percent. Play with the pixel width until the layout is similiar to what your are looking for.
