text layer help (or a better idea)

[andybhoy1888]

hi,

i am doing a site for a friend (but im quite a novice!) and she wants a layout similar to this site

http://www.volunteerlatinamerica.com/index.html

in the site i am designing i have created the whole layout through fireworks (nav buttons on the left, pictures at the bottom and logo etc at the top. in the middle i wanted a scrollable text area (like you see in the site shown) can someone please, please tell me how to do this... ive searched and searched and just cant do it...

at the moment the page is in a table, centered. its all 1 image (i.e not cut up into buttons, top, bottom etc...)

sorry i cant show you the actual page as i have no space to upload to yet. i hope you guys understand what im describing! is there a better way to get the end result? or should i put the text in a layer? if so how can i stop it moving all over the place in different res's

thanks very much.
