With regard to having the same level of control as you do with a page layout
program, of course. But the WEB is not like a piece of paper. You cannot
know what configuration I have on my computer, and so your display must be
built to accommodate that.

You cannot work effectively with an HTML authoring program without
understanding something about HTML, just like you cannot work with a page
layout program without understanding something about printing. With HTML
authoring, the answer to ALL layout problems lies in the HTML code on the
page.
