Thanks so much for responding to my question. I do appreciate you taking the time.
I have never used CKeditor before so hope you don't mind me seeking the following clarification of your response:
1. which CSS stylesheet are you referring to please; and 2. when you say to add it to my editor pages, are you referring to the instructions in the Developers Guide about Defining Styles i.e. creating a definition registration?
For me, via PHP, I wrote code in PHP that temporarily adds the css stylesheet for the actual site into the textarea of CKeditor. Thereby showing the exact layout one would see if they were viewing the content directly from the site.
Not sure what platform you use CKeditor on. So how you code it will be within your platform of choice. It is just a matter of affixing a stylesheet temporarily so the content within the editor can hold the same layout as your site. The stylesheet can be found by looking at your WordPress source and than copying the themes main css stylesheet. Possibly removing all the irrelevant css lines and than saving the file as editorstyle.css...
I think I am about to jump into the deep end when I can only just float!
But that is often the way it happens and I am really grateful for your advice.
If you don't mind I will come back with more questions if need be as I follow your advice. Possibly not immediately but I am determined to get this working as I love wordpress but have been so frustrated by its inability to allow me to hand a site over to the owner and let go of it!

I am hoping this is the solution.
