Well, is there an address(s) that are common to all programs. Or like a beginning and ending address that is always the same for a section. I forget all the section names or exactly what they're for, but I know .data is one.

There are different sections for different types of files. Different compilers use different sections as well. You can, in some cases, define your own section names if you're compiler allows it, and packers, encryptors, etc. can also rename sections too.

Take a look at this article about the PE file format:

Ok, but are there specific address ranges in there that are the same in different programs?

The locations of the system dll's (assuming there are no packers) and kernel space is the same between each process (not between each OS build though).
