Search the Pixel2Life database for some tutorials about designing 3 column websites, and building them using CSS.
You are now using tables, if you start using CSS now you don't have to learn CSS when you finished it in tables and it looks bad.

i read them, that was basically the way i was doing it. i was using the property box instead of writing it out.

Looking at your code, it looks like you're letting Dreamweaver make up whatever names it wants for your styles. This is hard to work with since you're not sure which rule goes with what on the page. It's better to name rules appropriately. For centering a layout, if using CSS, you'll need a container div that surrounds the content. Then apply the following CSS to that container div:

margin: 0 auto 0 auto;

What that does is apply a left and right margin of auto. This centers the layout.
