That is because any good template author would reject the idea
of all three columns being a fixed width. If you find a template
that matches your specs, it is probably something you should
avoid.

If you insist on making a bad page, however, you can modify one of the
templates you describe so that it has a fixed width center of 400px.

#centerdiv {
...
...
...
width:400px;
...
...
}
