The files contents is HTML, not CSS. Therefore it cannot display, or
more accurately, style the display of the HTML in the page that calls
it.

A typical .css file might contain something similar to:

body {background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size:
small;}
p,td,th {color: black;}
a {color: red;}


I think you are talking about an include file - this requires a webbot
to include it.
Insert->Web Component->Included Content->Page
Click Finish
Browse to page to include

The included page must also have a complete set of HTML tags:
<html><head><title>..</title></head><body>
page content
</body></html>

(Your "css" file includes 2 body tags - 1 is sufficient and necessary
for an include page.)

This file is 100% hypertext, and has no styling in it.

Add an <html><head></head> to the very beginning, and save this as your
index page

I think I am missing something here.

I thought CSS sheets allowed me to, inessence, create a header which could
be applied to all my pages within a web site. Creat once then insert the css
to all the pages!

All I want to be able to do is have one row of three colums, center colum
has company name and contact details and the outer two coloums have a picture
in them, sounds simple but I can't get it to work.

It does how ever work in HTML which gives me what I want but uses to much
disk space when css I know will do the same but be smaller on disk.

Is there an online tutorial which can help me?

Glossary of terms:
HTML- HyperText Markup Language. This is the actual content of the webpage
CSS- Cascading Style Sheet. This information styles the webpage. This
information can be in the HTML or in a seperate file

What you are looking for is most likely a DWT, or Dynamic Web Tempate. This
is an HTML page (and its relative CSS) which would be your layout template,
and then you can build pages from that by just putting in the unique content
for that page.
