Okay, Im having a problem with my \< P \> tags

This is a table-less (all CSS) website and the main text sits within a div tag, and is acting kind of funny, I want it to go down in single line, but if I use \< p \> tags it breaks it, and creates a second column  
[http://www.pacific-emarket.com/imts/word/word2.htm](http://www.pacific-emarket.com/imts/word/word2.htm)

but I need it to look like this:

[http://www.pacific-emarket.com/imts/word/word3.htm](http://www.pacific-emarket.com/imts/word/word3.htm) (the reason this works is I used \< br \>  
tags and no \< p\> tags, (a big pain)  
the CSS:  
[http://www.pacific-emarket.com/imts/imts.css](http://www.pacific-emarket.com/imts/imts.css) (the tags that I use for the main body is **#chest** )
