You should be using either tables or CSS to control layout of the page.
If you aren't schooled in CSS, then tables are the best bet.
The entire contents of the page goes in a table. Use table properties to set the width of the table.
Some people like a percentage, others prefer a fixed with (table width set in pixels). If you go with fixed width, you should set the width to 750 or less. Going wider could cause some people to get horizontal scroll bars.
Which is "better" is a matter of opinion and has spawned much debate. I am generally a fan of fixed-width.
