    I have to embed the styles I want to use in the html eg:

    The page was coded using an external stylesheet but when I switch it to being part of the page it is no longer centered. The CMS they use means it has to be embeded this way. Does anyone have a work around?

    <style type="text/css">

CSS HERE

</style>
    Code (markup):
    there you go, however I would advise using external stylesheets when possible.

    You want a external style sheet. It's much better then having the styles imbedded into the page because external style sheets are cached.

    Advantages of external stylesheets:
    +bandwidth economy (cached by browsers)
    +faster loading (cached by browsers, multithreading download)
    +more SE friendly pages (better code/content ratio)
    +easy to make changes

    So do not stick with embedded CSS!
