I don't use DW but to make a fixed-width page that displays on a 800px wide browser without a horizontal scrollbar you want a container width of around 760px wide.

To centre it you need to do a few things.

1. Ensure that you have a valid DOCTYPE
2. Then add the following rules to your stylesheet (assuming your 760px wide containing div is called #container): 

body {text-align:center;}
#container {margin:0 auto; text-align:left;}


The margin: 0 auto; rule will centre the div in all modern browsers (and IE6/7 as long as you've got a valid DOCTYPE).
The text-align: center rule will centre the div in older browsers such as IE5/IE5.5 and then the text-align:left rule normalises the text in all browsers.
