If I understand correctly, you can use a table within a table.  

For example:

<.table>

<.tr>
<.td> (your logo and banner here) <.td>
<./tr>

<.tr>
<.td>

<.table>
(insert your navigation table here using <.tr> and <.td> tags)
</table>

<./td>

<.td>
(insert your body copy here)
<./td>
<./tr>

</table>

So what you have is an overall table that has the first row with one cell 
running across the top that houses the log and banner.

Then you open your second row, first cell and create another table that has 
your navigation.  Close that first cell then move to the second cell in the 
second row and place your body copy.

Hope this helps....
