Need to center the website and also bring down if resolution to make it fit

I have a site with Dreamwever template ( dwt) fie that I use to make major changes to all the pages at the same time. The entire web site is left aligned so the background show on the right side of the screen. The site was made 5 years ago. Is there any way that I can edit the template to center the website?

Also, is there anyway to bring down the resolution so that it would should full pages instead of a half page?( this is of less important)

I have attached the template in a text file. Let me if this helps. I could not figure the divs that you mentioned above.

Also, on a side note , could you let me if I could change the background to an image or a different color.

Thank you so much for your help Jason,

Your whole site is a table. Just change line 39:

<table width="1033" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="Contains DS/USA site navigation & body">

to

<table width="1033" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="Contains DS/USA site navigation & body" align="center">

Yes, just open the dwt file as you would any other page and edit it as you wish. Stuff like that is either in the <body> tag, in the attached stylesheet, or in the head section in <style> tags. You may have to hunt around a little bit to find the right thing to change. When done, save the DWT file and it should update all the child pages based on it.

This is pretty basic HTML stuff. How up are you on web design?

Thank you Jason,
That did the trick and the fix for now. A new site has been devolved to replace the existing site, but I needed to help someone with this for time being till the new one goes alive.
