I can't find diddly squat about this problem anywhere, so...
I'm using Dreamweaver MX 2004. [This same problem applies to MX, as well.] I made a simple site using the same tables on every page [but I didn't actually make a template. Just copy and pasted the table.]
Despite each table having the same exact dimensions [pixel width, at least], the tables on every page appear in different positions and have different cell widths.
Here is the site: http://www.tcnj.edu/~liloia3/OoC/
Here is the table width HTML:
<body>
<table width="700" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="77"><img src="angelo.gif" width="77" height="74"></td>
<td width="553" bgcolor="#666666"><img src="OocTitle.jpg" width="300" height="33"></td>
</tr>
[Believe it or not, I did try making a page template with a simple table (with one uneditable cell, two editables) and the widths would STILL appear different on each page.]
[And no, I don't enough enough fancy HTML to make a site in Notepad or anything like that. So please refrain from "that's what you get from using WYSIWYG editors.]

A screenshot won't do it justice. Did you go through the site that I linked? http://www.tcnj.edu/~liloia3/OoC/
Notice how the table shifts to the left or right as you navigate the pages... Also, let me know what browser you are using. In Firefox, the left column [with the picture and navigation links] seems to be a fixed width, but in Safari, it changes by a few pixels on each page.

Since the tables below the first row you showed have width/height dimensions, try giving the same dimensions to the rows below. Example:
Code:<table width="700" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td width="77"><img src="angelo.gif" width="77" height="74"></td> <td width="553" bgcolor="#666666"><span class="clickst style9 style4"><img src="OocTitle.jpg" width="300" height="33"></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="77" valign="top" bgcolor="#999999"><p class="clickst"><strong>Navigation:</strong></p> <p class="style3"> </p></td> <p>blahblahblahblah</p> <td width="553" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" class="clickst"><p align="center" class="clickst style4"><strong><span class="style4">Original synopsis</span><br> <span class="style5">[The preliminary movie outline.]</span> </strong></p> </td> </tr> </table>

A-ha, makes sense. But... now, the 'Synopsis' and 'Techniques' pages seems to be good to go, but the others are still screwy despite the extra tag.

For what it's worth, it looks spot on with IE.

I thought that the column shift was a function of the scrollbar appearing and disappearing. The whole table moves left or right depending on the length of the page, it seems.

Ha! Talk about obvious. I want to kick my own ass so hard, and so badly.
Thanks for the help, sirs.
