web page with text is aligned right on my deisgn page and preview page.
However, when I open the site at another computer, the text is scrambled.
How do I fix this.

Looks like the biggest problem is caused by the use of spaces to align text.
This never works well. For layout purposes, I recommend using a table.
Here's a link with information on this approach:
http://www.webstyleguide.com/page/tables.html

I found it via Google so I can't attest to how approachable it is. It may
be worth your time to look at FrontPage's help documentation and to perform
other Google searches, as well.

Another tip regarding your graphics; they're way too big. Although you're
adjusting the height and width values in your web page, that doesn't do
anything to reduce the actual size of your image files. This results in
much longer load times and should be avoided at all costs.

If you don't have access to any graphics applications, a great little
freebie that can help is IrfanView - www.irfanview.com. This utility is
great for previewing images, but has handy tools for resizing, cropping, and
other simple image editing tasks. Even if you do have a graphics app, this
is still worth getting since it's so small and fast to use. Most folks who
use will agree that it's a must-have tool.

Please post back with more questions if you have them, after reading up on
using tables for layout.

Repeat after me. "The spacebar is not a design tool". Repeat until you
have learned it.
Design tools are DIV layers, Tables, CSS positioning and CSS styling.
Rebuild the pages with that in mind and they will look better and more
consistently in various window sizes.
