   A real 404 page (and not a “article not found” message) is generated by the server when a file doesn’t exist and not by Joomla itself.
   If your hosting account supports custom error pages then you can set these up to redirect to a redirect to a page styled how you like, however these aren’t recommended as it makes the bad 404′d link appear not to be dead which confuses search-engine crawlers, etc.
   Sorry I can’t be of much more help - I used to have 3 sites run on Joomla but they’re all offline now and I’m starting to turn to programming my own stuff.
