I have the site logo across the top. I'll be placing the navigation menu on the left. Here's my problem:
I'm trying insert>template objects>editable region to insert an editable region just for the text, but I can't insert the box toward the center of the page. It either ends up directly beneath the navigation menu or speces the navigation menu buttons & sticks it between some buttons...What am I doing wrong?

I've tried center justify, I've tried indenting or tabbing over & that just moves the entire navigation menu to the center of the page. Help please??

Post your code.

Use tables

create a table with 2 columns

Put your navigation in a left cell, then put your editable region in the right cell.

adjust the width of your left column to the size of your navigation.

If I knew what I was doing, I'd be dangerous...

i don't know how big your site is, but either way i'd STRONGLY suggest not to use tables. Use layers instead in the standard view, or if you already have content, just wrap a div around it and use CSS to position the div where you want.
