Which browser are you using? What kind of page are you looking at -- can
you 
tell if it's just HTML, CSS / HTML, pure text file?

Post the page URL, or give me the "View source" view.

If you very new to HTML, the dead easiest way is to set up a one column 
table.

<table style="width: 95%; text-align: left;" border="1" cellpadding="2" 
cellspacing="2">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
Put your text file here.
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Of course, there's other stuff that has to go at the beginning and end of 
your file but open any simple page, "View source" and you should be able
to 
figure it out. The text file will also need <br> or <p> tags to separate 
paragraphs, otherwise you'll see one continuous sentence. If you don't
want 
to see a border around the table, well, you get the idea. . .
