Sell Dreamweaver and use TextPad ;)

Specifically, the following will do what you want. I don't know why your
code does not display the margins correctly, although marginwidth may be
deprecated. In any case, CSS is the way to go rather than HTML tag
attributes for styling.

<html>
<head>
<title>Reading Eagle Clip</title>
<style type='text/css'>
body
{
margin: 50px;
}
</style>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
[..]
</body>
</html>
