Afraid I can't comment on the programs you have suggested as I use Dreamweaver and swear by it but agree it is a lot of money and un-necessary for somone just starting out. Wise-FTP is excellent though. I highly recommend that for ftp transfers (until you get Dreamweaver).
I would like to comment on the "long piece of paper" layout...
This is generally a common layout. The width of the 'page' is set to 800 pixals. This is done so that the site looks uniform regardless of the screen size of the user. You can design sites that look really good regardless of screen size (or even window size) but 1. it is very difficult and you may have to make comprimises and 2. is best done using CSS and not tables.
Text only pages generally work best with different screen/window sizes but introduce pictures or fixed width divisions / tables etc and it will either look terrible or worse, have horizontal scroll bars.
