Center CSS in Dreamweaver

Question

Following the advice from a friend, I used www.psd2cssonline.com to create a website as I have never used CSS before I thought it would be a good starting point.
The site is now finished apart from one detail. everything is aligned to the left and I want it to be centered. I have done tried to adjust the code myself but all I have managed to do is align the text to the centre ha!
I would really appreciate any help that can be offered - I have provided the code from Dreamweaver for the whole thing if needed.

Here's an example from one of the templates that Come with Dreamweaver...  You'll notice the "text-align:" is centered.  This will center everything, so in the next block, which is for the container where you place all page content sets "text-align:" to left so all text within the container is aligned to the left.  Something similar should work for you.
========================   Copy  ==========================
body {
    font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    background: #666666;
    margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
    padding: 0;
    text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */
    color: #000000;
#container {
    width: 780px;  /* using 20px less than a full 800px width allows for browser chrome and avoids a horizontal scroll bar */
    background: #FFFFFF;
    margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
=====================  end  ========================
Hope this helps.
