I am using one of the templates...

http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com/preview/template6/

This makes a great first page. I am trying to edit it so that all additional pages include the left column but the center column is wider so that there will be no right column. I am having difficulty with 2 things.

1. the box (border) around the column is pushing against text
2. the length is not relative (I would like it be the determining factor to the length of the overall page without having to tweak the left column each page)

I am hoping someone understands what I am trying to do.

Any help would be appreciated.

Leave out of the html page the section called "RIGHT SIDEBAR "
Look in the css file for #page_rightcol note the setting "width : 185px;"
Then find #page_maincol width setting
I added the two widths together (574) and found it was short on the right so I made the width, #page_maincol to be "width : 560px;"
But if I keep this ID at this width then all pages will be wider, so I created a second ID named #page2_maincol

#page2_maincol {
 margin-left : 14px;
 width : 560px;
 float : left;
}

Now in every page I want just the 2 columns I call <div id="page2_maincol">

You will have to adjust all other classes and id's to expand the rest of the items. It would be alot simpler to create an new stylesheet just for this and call it from the head section. Name it something like pagetwo.css or twocolumn.css. Does this help?
