Welcome to TWF mohd
Dreamweaver is just an editor, notepad is a text editor which you can edit/make html web pages with (among others). open the page in your favotite browser, right click on the page (not on a image) and choose view source, should open in notepad, make your changes, save and upload.
If your using tables put width="100%" in the table cell and it will expand in all screen sizes

You may have put 100% on the main table but the cells within the nested tables have fixed widths so they wont stretch! Also with your header being 778 pixels wide you are getting a horizontal scrollbar at 800*600 and that's always going to remain the same size so if the content strtched it may look odd compared to the fixed size of the header.

Nononono! :eek:
You've been using MS Word to edit the site...Not a good idea, I really think you need to grasp some basic HTML before you take this site live.
Don't worry it's not hard, I'm sure we can get some links together to help you along the way

That's not frontpage, lol, that's Word. It's word all over it.
But still -- if you have trouble with tables, there are many tutorials still around, you would do better to learn this aspect of HTML instead of using Word or FP.
Both of those applications produce madly bloated code which will make it harder for you to understand how the tables go together. Also, they will negatively impact the load time of the site.
If you need help, just post in the Web Page Authoring section.

means getting your tables set to 100% so that people with different screen resolutions would see the tables stretch through the page

Hey folks coming into this one a little late but I don't think anyone said this, and it's apoint worth making.
In order to make your page "autostretch" make sure you are using the width="100%" tag in the last cell to the right, that way, regardless of browser res you'll get a full page.
Second, invest in Dreamweaver, or an equivalent editor, it'll be worth it in the long run.
If you're looking for a free or low cost editor, this link will take you to a few good editor to get going
