How can I overcome the DPI issue distoring the view of my web page

I created my web site in Publisher 2007 to fit 800x600.  My laptop, like many
newer models, is widescreen but the website appears as designed at 800x600
thru 1680x1050.  Of course better in the higher resolution as the pages
appear "scrunched" and blurred in the lower resolutions.  Any web site I view
looks the same so I'm not too concerned.

The problem I have is that the site was designed on my laptop at 96 dpi.  
Some machines I've tested were set to 120 dpi which distorted my layout.  
When I set them to 96 dpi everything looks great.  I want my pages to appear
the same regardless of dpi or resolution.  Reading through the threads, I saw
others had this issue in older releases of Publisher and there appeared to be
no resolution at the time.  Does anyone know if there is a fix in 2007?

I've looked on other sites and there were also references to Publishers
absolute positioning.  The suggestion was to "float" and set the position to
%.  Not sure what this would entail.  Would this fix it?  Is it a simple
find/replace in the html files?

As a last resort, if I have to rebuild in a more robust web developer
program, does anyone know if there is a conversion process to go from
Publisher to Web Developer, Front Page or another program?

Thanks for any help.
