Dorayme has a good tip for your question about width.
And instead of using <blockquote> (HTML view in FrontPage) all over the
place for indentation, assign a margin (sizable to suit your whim) such as
<body style="margin-left:3.2em; margin-right:1em; background:white;">
If you want, you *can* apply <blockquote> to your Norman Megill text,
since that *is* a quote, and you can get rid of the <pre> tags, which
you are not really using.
Try replacing [see footnote 1] this:
<div align="left">
<pre>
<font face="Arial" size="3">"A better tool for learning about
proofs in the way that mathematicians usually do
them.<i>"<br></i>–Norman Megill, Author of "Metamath"</font>
</pre>
</div>
with:
<blockquote>
"A better tool for learning about proofs in the way that
mathematicians usually do them."<br>
<cite>–Norman Megill, Author of "Metamath"</cite>
</blockquote>
The above elements also styleable, too, so you can shift the positioning
of the cite part if you want to and as you wish.
Use of cite: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#h-9.2.1
Blockquote: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#h-9.2.2
Note 1: Try doing the above in HTML view in FrontPage. The WYSIWYG part
is misleading, as Chaddy was trying to caution you about. It's why you
have junk like this in your page:
<b><h1 align="left"><img border="0" src="rp3.JPG" width="411"
height="289"></b><font face="Arial"><br>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Click for Free
</span></font></font><span style="font-weight: 400">
<font color="#FF0000" face="Arial">
<a
href="http://www.dcproof.com/dcpsetup.exe">Download</a></font></span></h1>
Note 2: Try fiddling in the HTML view (or using Notepad while FrontPage
is closed!) and seeing what happens when you add or delete something.
Twiddle with stuff. Try to make the source smaller (bit by bit) and see
what happens. Have fun.
Note 3: Good luck!
