If you contacted CoffeeCup by email, try logging in to http://www.coffeecup.com/help/ and looking at "My Question History" the 5th item down after you log in. That is where CoffeeCup puts a copy of email that they send to you. Sometimes the spam filter at an ISP will block CoffeeCup email.
Do you have a link to the page you are working on? Your description does help me (maybe someone else will understand) but if I can look at the code, I might be able to help you get the page width set. As a first try, set the CSS style to width:750px; in the style section of your body, your page, or a separate style sheet.
body {
width: 750px;
}
That is how it would look in a separate style sheet, or the style section of your page.
It almost sounds like you are saying that you can not edit a web page using the CoffeeCup HTML Editor. Are you using the 2008 version or an older version?

How do i access css style?
if i copy and paste that code- wont it mess me up going back to code editor? or do you have to save/upload then try going to code editor?
Or must you ALWAYS use one or other?
I cant seem to edit the document- when i hit enter it does nothing. some text will do stuff, other text will only do certain things. But when i add a picture- the entire page shows wacky characters???

NewGirl,
I don't use the visual editor, but I think the problem comes from shifting from visual to code and back to visual, etc. If you open a file in code mode, and save it, it should be OK to open in visual mode. I will have to play around with it later this week end if I have the time.
About CSS: You can learn a lot about CSS at the W3Schools web site at this site - http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp
In a simple html page, you have the doctype at the top, then you open with the <html> tag, and the <head> tag. You put in your title, and meta tags, and styles then close the head section with </head>
In between the <head> and </head> tags, you can insert the style section for that page. So you head might look like this:
<head>
<title>page title here</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="yucky, houses," >
<style type="text/css">
body {
width: 750px;
background-color:#0000ff;
}
</style>
</head>
At this point, you start with the body of the page.
While you are in the editor, you can set a number of various styles for you page, and you can read about all of them at the W3Schools site, and ask questions about them here.
