Having trouble with left align in all versions of internet explorer

I created my pages in Dreamweaver and uploaded them to my university's server.  Because we have a content management system and my boss didn't like the layout that we are able to use, I had to create separate html pages and place them into the CMS using iframes.  Each individual page has a banner on the top, and underneath that, a menu on the left side and the main body text on the right.    In Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, the menu takes up the appropriate amount of space (about 250 px) and then the body text is left aligned about 10 px to the right of the menu.  However, when I open the same page internet explorer, there is a large gap between the menu and the text. I have tried it within the iframes and without and both have this problem.  The URL is: http://chicago.medicine.uic.edu/UserFiles/Servers/Server_442934/File/Hematology/welcome.ht m.  Any suggestions? 
Thanks!

I don't  use tables for layouts.  You have more control with CSS. 
Copy & paste this into a new HTML page and play with it.

There are over twenty-five faculty members that are committed to providing the highest quality of patient care. The section houses a variety of outstanding programs including an exceptional stem cell transplant program, a nationally recognized sickle cell program, and a strong neuro-oncology program.  We are one of the few universities that participate in the Minority-Based Community Clinical Oncology Program and are also a member of the Myeloproliferative Disease Program, both being NCI-funded programs.</p>
<p>The program continues to be a leader in expanding the possibilities of cancer research.  Patients are given the opportunity to participate in a variety of pivotal clinical trials in thirteen different disease-type areas.  Our research teams work to ensure that tomorrow's science is practiced as today’s medicine.</p>
<p>Our three-year ACGME Accredited fellowship program offers fellows the opportunity to work with a  range of hematologic and oncologic disorders in a variety of settings in the Chicagoland area.  Fellows rotate at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center, Mount Sinai Hospital, Mercy Hospital and now with MacNeal Hospital in Chicago’s west suburb of Berwyn.  Fellows are given the opportunity to focus on both clinical and bench research projects under the mentorship of our faculty members.</p>
