Need help - using Dreamweaver

I've used Golive to set up my webpage a while back and I recently have had access to Dreamweaver CS3, and so I have made the change, but I feel lost.

I have four questions:

1. How can copy and paste AP elements (they used to be layers in Golive)? I try copy and paste and nothing happens - but in the "undo" menu, I can "undo paste". So why am I not seeing it? Nothing is set to be invisible as far as I know.

2. In Golive, I used to be able to "insert layer" and then drag a box that created the layer. Then I could place text, pictures etc... in the layer. So, how can I create an AP element in DW CS3 in a similar manner so it will be placed exactly where I want it and then I can introduce text or images etc?

3. Every page right now is shown on the left side of the screen and I would like it all to be shown in the middle of the screen. How can I do that?

4. How can I set my text in DW so that the user cannot resize it? In other words, so the size of the text always appears the way I set it and not the way the user has the "text size" configured in his/her browser?


I know these are basic web design questions, but I'm getting a headache trying to find my way around Dreamweaver, so I appreciate any help. Also, any suggestions on good books or tutorials for Dreamweaver CS3 would be well appreciated.
 
Okay, just an update. I figured out the answers to questions 1, 2, and 4. So if anyone can help answer question 3, I'd appreciate the help.

I'm slowing starting to find my way around DW a little better. :)
