I think something like:

<div style="margin-left: 15%; margin-right: 15%">
This text takes 70% of width
<div>
should work in most cases.
Major problem with MS IE is 'auto', which is calculated in a wrong way.

Sometimes adding 'padding' also helps a lot.
As about menues - #menu {float: left; width: 135px }  helps a lot.
(assuming that margin-left is at least 135px for main text)
