Hi Keith,

If I understand you correctly, you just need to enclose div#textpic in
another div, then apply the styles that are currently defined for #textpic
to that enclosing div. After that, applying margin: 0 auto; to #textpic
should do the trick.

Markup:

<div id="wrapper">
   <div id="textpic">

    </div>
</div>

CSS:

/* These are the styles currently defined for #textpic */
div#wrapper {
    float: right;
    margin: 1em 7em 15em auto;
    max-width: 575px;
    height: 100%;
    min-height: 100%;
    padding-top: 7px;
    border: 1px dashed blue;
}
/* This will center #textpic within #wrapper */
div#textpic {
    margin: 0 auto;
}
