Best way to display text for all screen resolutions

Hi All,
I found out the hard way that you should not use inches when displaying objects on an HTML page, because when you switch screen resolutions the objects will move. However, I do not understand how to format my text so that it still looks nice no matter what screen resolution is being used. I have tried the pre tags, but that doesn't work. Can someone please guide me as to how this should be accomplished?

many thanks,
Barry

look into css style sheets. This will make your page look good. You can also just design for 800x600 and center the content to the center of the page. Recommend CSS highly
