What version of Publisher are you using? The general wisdom here seems to be
that you can only center in Publisher 2000 by editing the HTML code in
Notepad. You can do a search in this newsgroup for "centering" to find the
instructions.

Bruce & High School Teacher,

This is my "canned" response on Publisher website centering:

This works only for websites created with Publisher 2000 & 2002.

Each of your html files requires adding the <center> code after the existing
</head> code.

You can go into each html file and do it manually or get the free
ReplaceInFiles program
and make it an easy chore.

"ReplaceInFiles" can be downloaded from:

<http://www.emurasoft.com/index.htm>

The four boxes require the following information:

Find: </head>
Replace with: </head> <center>
File Types: *.html
In Folder:
(use the button to go to the folder where the html files are located on your
hard drive)

The bottom four boxes can be left blank.

Note: Once the boxes are filled out and the "Replace all" is selected, the
entries are retained for the next time you use the program.

P.S. One of the kind visitors of this news group told us of ReplaceInfiles
program some time ago; 'Sorry I forgot the individual's name. (Another
unsung hero).

In addition to what others have posted, you can simulate the effect of a
centered page by your design. Here is a reference that explains it:
