Without the benefit of seeing your code I suggest that the problem must be in your width setting - - Perhaps you set a width of 7000 instead of 700?
I suggest that you do one of two things - (1) Throw the page away and start again with a new page (afterall you've probably only got a few minutes invested in it at this time) or (2) take a look at the HTML code and fix the current page.
In order to view the HTML code you should set the page in 'split' mode (look at the top of your page - you'll see three tabs Code, Split and Design - click on Split and you'll see the code displayed in the top half of your screen and the page displayed in the bottom half.
The code for your page should be displayed between the body tags (<body> and </body>) and should look something like this:
<body>
<table width="700" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
You'll notice that I always start a page layout with the border turned on so I can easily see what the layout looks like - You can turn it back off later by editing the code to border="0".
Now that we have your page looking like you want I have one other suggestion - - go buy a few basic books to help you out.... Dreamweaver is a wonderful product but it really is NOT a magic bullet - - you need to understand at least a bit of HTML or you'll forever been messing around trying to make things look right. I'd suggest that you buy a couple of books like 'Sams Teach Yourself HTML 4 in 24 hours' and 'Sams Teach yourself Dreamweaver MS 2004 in 24 hours'. You can get these from your local book store or through Amazon.
If you are really in a hurry I'd even suggest that you go the Barnes and Nobel with a notebook and a pen, take one of the books off the shelf and start taking notes while you wait for the books to arrive.
Once you've consumed those books and are really into the website development business you'll want to buy more advanced books like - 'The Complete Reference HTML; and 'Dreamweaver MX 2004 Bible' - - When you purchase the advanced books I strongly suggest that you treat them like a Sams manual - - Sit down and read them, do the exercises, practice the coding example and really understand the subjects - - Spend at least a week with each book - - You'll be a pro in no time....
