have you tried something like:

This worked,
Thanks very much.
The interesting thing, though, is that it worked without the float.
When I put in the float it worked fine in safari and mozilla (mac pc), but
in IE it wanted to make the margin-left so many pixels from the menu
division, rather than from the side of the page.

that's because you absolutely positioned it when it shouldn't be. :)
change your content to be:
#content {
margin-left: 220px;
height:800px;
font-family: Papyrus;
background-color:#FF;
