I published my website http://www.fcaa.us and when you go to the home page ,
I think because of the ads, it is slid all the way over to the right.

I was told to turn off the absolute positioning. How do I do that? Thanks

You don't. That is the way Publisher works.

You are probably using the free GoDaddy hosting service, so just upgrade to
the $5 a month hosting service without the ads.

PS.

I found this workaround posted some time ago by Troy:

David - I found this workaround that seems to work pretty well:

Instructions for publishing to an ad-supported free web site through GoDaddy
using MS Publisher

1. Publish website to folder on local computer first
2. Open "index.html" in browser window
3. Under the "Page" pulldown menu, select "View Source." This displays a
.txt file, showing the html code.
4. Using find & replace (under the "edit" menu), search for the first
instance of the word, "absolute" in the html code, and replace it with the
word "relative."
5. This process must be repeated for each page individually, by navigating
to each locally-published page from within a web browser, viewing the source
html code, replacing the first instance of "absolute" with "relative," then
saving the file before navigating to the next page.
6. Once finished making changes, the locally saved "index.htm" file and
accompanying folder must be copied and pasted, via ftp client to your
GoDaddy
website, and "voila," you should be up and running!
