I made this in dreamweaver, can i slap some CSS on it?

Question

Hi everyone,
A friend of mine asked me to do a webpage for her, and for
the most part, I made the page. Its not yet cmpleted, but here's
the link:
http://www.helenbwilson.com
The html pages are already made, but I wanted to format the
text in the cells in the "About" and "Contact" section, as the
leading and padding need to be fixed (The text aligns way too close
to the border of the table/cell). Is it possible to have a CSS
document where I can put it and all the text in the cells will be
formatted to my liking?
And that leads me to my next question of : how difficult is
it to make this in straight up CSS?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, and go easy on me, Im a noob

Certainly.

Learning how to effectively create pages without using tables
is an arduous
process for most people. Although Nick's suggestion is right
on target,
it's not very practical for someone asking the questions you
are asking. I
suggest you begin to use CSS for content styling and slowly
migrate into the
more advanced usages, like floats and other page-placement
techniques as
your knowledge increases.
And learn how to use a grain of salt with the recommendations
that you do
this transition instantly, and never use tables for anything
but tabular
content. Get pragmatic. If a table works best for a
praticular purpose,
there's no shame in using it. Browsers will support tables
'till the cows
come home.
