Can someone please tell me why when I preview my page and publish it to web the text box carry's on for ages when it doesn't look like this in the project!!

Your main text object, obj617 is 1449px (pixels) and 6339px high -- which makes it big!!!! Also you have lots of <br> (newline) characters for formatting.

I suggest break that large text object into a number of smaller ones -- then it will be much easier to control the positioning of the text with respect to the images. Formatting will be much easier too -- no need for lots of newline characters. Take a look at how the tutorials are built (Help > Tutorials) -- those pages have smaller text objects interspersed with images.

Your design width seems to be about 1024px, so you shouldn't have anything extending beyond that. More in Page Design Width.

It's a bit of a mystery as to why you don't see that extra width on your workpage, so my suggestions may not be a complete answer. But at least it's a start.

Also, I noticed fonts that are not web-safe: Garamond, Bodoni MT Black and Symbol. This won't be the source of the problem you see, but it does mean that visitors who don't have your fonts will not see your pages as you intend. I suggest use Georgia as your main font.
