FP 2003 and its extent of CSS

I am getting FP 2003 soon, and will e converting my club's websites into FP creations. All of my sites are CSS, and I did it in CSS so I wouldn't have to worry about table layout - but now, FP will worry about that for me.

One of my concerns is a repeating background image I use on the right side of my website. Basically - CSS goes MUCH farther than plain html in regards to background image placement and properties. My image is set to be at the far right side underneath banners and menus, and repeats down to where ever the page ends (this saves download times and k's).

Can frontpage do this?

If not - does the code FP produce make it too difficult for me to conduct surgery? To do this effectively - I'd need an external style sheet describing that table in the layout (so my surgery effects ALL pages). Can this be done?. For instance - after creating the layout - select the table or layout area - and define a way that it is described in an external style sheet. Or create a tag (and have it change din al previous made pages) in the table's code that I could go to the external style sheet and write up.

 
I've never worked directly with front page but whenever I've viewed the source of pages that were generated that way (or by any MS Office tool) I've been disgusted. Little formatting, lots of font tags, no standards compliance, haven't seen any css and bad cross browser compatibility. I've you've got the skills to maintain a table free website I don't think you should move to front page.
