Is this some form for printing?

You should really get rid of all the inline styles, all, &nbsp
and make a clean break between the html and the css.

Personally, I would forget nearly all the "center" styling and
even forcing any widths like 100% in general.

You could lay out in a table, easier to understand and implement.
Put the set text in a col on left, and input a col on right. The
magic of tables will do the rest for you. At least it won't look
such a mess. And you can tweak things with css. For example you
might want to right align the set text in the cells so they all
line up neat on the right just before input col. Ragged right
edge to the page does not matter. it is just that your page is a
bit higgledy piggledy in other ways.

These are just some quick remarks and lightly said. If you or
others don't like them, fine, freedom is a good thing and have a
nice day.
