DW8 says there is no margin, but the image is still 10 or so pixels off

Okay, so I'm new to DW and use DW8 (which is the latest version, anyway?)
Here's the background and my problem:

I work with a graphic designer in the redesign of the site to our organization not-for-profit, and it has a gradient along the left side of the page. At the top of the slope, she has a logo merges with the gradient. Then the navigation bar along the top of the page with the drop down menus designed in Fireworks. It's a beautiful design, but I can't get things to work properly when I import into DW.

Again, I am new to DW and FW, but I am a quick learner (I think). I gathered these aspects (the gradient, logo, site name and navigation bar) in FW. I want these to form the template for all pages in the site, so I made them in DW to do. However, I need to make sure that the background (gradient) again without logo repeat. So I exported separately and set it as the bottom of the page by using the page properties. I thought it would be fairly simple. However, I can not export just the logo under a .jpg file (it needs to be to look right) without having a white background and the mixture is no longer with the gradient.

So now, I thought to myself, that export the whole picture of FW (with the gradient, logo and navigation bar) to DW and just place it on the gradient background, threading as an image, so that these things appear at the top of the page, but the gradient continues under the image. It has been an incredibly frustrating process, and I know that the last idea probably sounds ridiculous to those more experienced than me. However, I think that it can actually work. The only problem and a big, is that when I insert the image for the entire of FW (or even just the logo itself) document, even when it says the page has no margin or padding, it seems to always define this image down about 10 pixesls, manufacturing it compensate with the gradient background and leaving the edge of the visible logo (which is supposed to look like It runs off the page). How can I fix?

And once it works, how configure these two areas, the gradient with the logo and the navigation bar top with the name of the site, to be the model for the rest of the site with the large open space, I left on the rest of the page in the edit box? It seems like once I get this set as the model, the rest of the pages will come together quite quickly and easily.

Is there another way to do that would be easier? I am very open to suggestions. I have yet the site upward on a test server to show to everyone online, but if you want to email me [email protected], I welcome correspondence and help to get this working. I am also prepared to send the .html files to someone by e-mail if they could be useful. Sorry for the long post, but I spent all day working on this problem and I'm absolutely desperate. Please help and thank you for your time.

You must assign 0 margin and padding on the body tag. Copy the following text
in the head of your document just before the closing head tag (/ head >)
Preferably, it should be placed in a sheet of external style, but by the sounds of
you do not use this things.

Once you have added the above to your page, you must save the page under a
Model. You will be asked to create an editable region (which is the area
"that will be changed on each page the child of this model).
The help of DW files offer information about creating model
pages - which can be the first step for you :-)
