FP2003 Borders with Increase Indent problem - "Increase Indent" pulls in tex but not Box !!

With FP2000, I frequently would box my text every now and then to
emphasize an important point. I would use "Format/Borders and
Shading" to box the text. Which would then span the entire width of
my web page. Then to pull in the sides, I clicked the "Increase
Indent" button, usually I would click it 2 or 3 times to get the box
to a width of about 3 inches on the screen.

But now that I have upgraded to FP2003, the Increase Indent button
works only on the text. It pulls in the text, but leaves the edges of
the Box all the way out at the edges of the web page.

Is there any way, with FP2003 - to take a single, short paragragh of a
few sentences, and box it into the middle of the page so that it spans
across about 3 inches?
 
You can do it with css
<p style="width: 300px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">text</p>

or html
<div width="300" align="center">
<p>text</p>
</div>

Enter your text, indent it, then apply your border
- will wrap the text in a div tag w/ a border applied

Better still, just Put the text in a single cell table w/ a table border applied
