Overflow Text Question

On a website I just recently put together I’m having a problem with the text overflowing when I look at it on a laptop. I put the website together in Dreamweaver. When I look at the website on a laptop the text paragraphs run into each other and off the main part of the website. Also, the text is unusually large on a laptop. Does anyone know why this problem is occurring?

Here is the code I’m using:

<td rowspan="12" valign="top" bgcolor="#76808E"><style type="text/css">
body {
font: 11px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
div#content {
width: 324px;
height: 700px;
padding: 10px;
border: 1px solid grey;
background: #76808E;
}
</style>
<div class="style14 style1" id="content">
<p class="style12 style4 style5">About Space Clearings</p>
<p><span class="style12 style4">Cleaning your home keeps the space enjoyable to live in, maintains health and provides a relaxing atmosphere. p>
</div></td>

What are all those "styles"??
style12 style4 style5, etc ??

I've never heard of classes defined like that, and where do those classes exist?

That's how NOT to use Dreamweaver! It lists the styles as numbers when you change text styles with the click of a button.

Mini you need to take a step back and start all over. Learn a few basics. There is so much wrong with just that little bit of code, nobody can fix it.

The only thing I can see as far as text overflow, is that you have set a height to your content div. Once it gets filled up it will spill out.
