Padding in dreamweaver cs3

Question

I have cut up some slices from photoshop and put them in
the dreamweaver, so i have a div tag with a css id attached to it, now I have the image as a bg image via css so when i click in it, I get the type cursor blinking, i cut and paste some text, and now i justify that text in css, it works, color it, it works, now, here is where I lose my mind, left padding, moves the text say 5 pixels, not right padding, for the love of all that is holy, GOES OUT INSTEAD OF IN, sorry for yelling, I have a deadline, and I dont remember padding, going out instead of inside, so i deleted my configeration folder to reset dreamweaver to default, and again, padding goes out instead of in, i tried the margin ant that actually cuts into the background image, anyone know solution, i would be so gracious, thank you all for your time

its the left column with the overlapping white text, no big deal on it running on the botton, its the overlapping to the right thats the concern, i have the right padding at 10px, even reduced to 0 px, the paragraph is still touching the border, I appreciate your time very much
thanks
