css linking
I know how to link files with CSS. Like a css file on the server that specifies the font weight, face, size, etc. Is it possible to make a table in the original css file and link it to a webpage on the server, so I don't have to make hundreds of tables and I can just type in a variable box3row1="This text goes to screen" on the webpage that the viewer is viewing? Does this make sense?

Variables are done with PHP, ASP, or other languages like that, not CSS. Perhaps I've misunderstood you, but I think you'll need to get into PHP if you want to use variables.

Would an include work for this? I'm not sure if I'm understanding you right either - what that will do is go from the page you are on to the server to grab a bunch of HTML then dump it back into the page. You can do this through Server Side Includes or with PHP (the more modern method). I don't have the code handy but it's really simple to do.

Unfortunately there's no way of doing this with CSS, not if you want exactly the same content to appear over and over (CSS is for formatting, and that's all it can do, although it does that one thing very well!).
The way to do this - as Megan and mscreashuns pointed out is to include another file, it's as simple as:
<?phpinclude 'vars.php';
?>
I got that from: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php
Do you have the ability to use PHP? If you're not sure there's a very easy to test to see if you can use it

or make a table like layout with the borders visible for the css, and when its arranged according to your liking, put it on your css file and ID them as needed, then it will be as easy as calling individual div ids to generate a table-like structure from your css...
