No. Text is hidden, because the content part in the theme is just
defined to be the area in the BgContainer.

Yes: Don't force the text/elements to be wider as the available area.
Remove your hard formatting.

Trying to do alignment with tables is bad. Better use appropriate css
styles on semantic elements. Only use a table when what you have is
actually tabular data.

Again: If you tell "This element is 780pixels wide", but there is only
room for 600pixels, you're forcing the text to not wrap. Get rid of
your manually defined styles, especially the fixed-width
specifications.

Start with semantic html, i.e. what the job of the element is, and
then work on the layout, not the other way round.

Well - you can use your own style="..." tags in the html, those are
not stripped.
And furthermore the CSS is not by the CMS, it was created by us, so
when the CSS is lacking/needs some more styles, those can be added of
course.

But using hard formatting is very, very bad.

And don't just create divs because you want to indent a paragraph,
just specify that indent on the paragraph for example. Just because
the CMS is configured to allow manually specified styles doesn't mean
that all manually specified styles make sense.
