Thanks for the reply Philip.
The data is coming from a MS-SQL database with mixed English/Western
Euorpean character data in some fields. The html is generated by
Crystal Reports that references CSS styles and an html wrapper I have
supplied. The reason for including the width property in the CSS style
is to work-around a quirk that prevents text-alignment from working
unless the width pproperty is supplied. Crystal is breaking the field
(ProductName, ex. Tunnbröd) into multiple <td>...<td> (one for each
special character) resulting in the erroneous spacing.
Here's a link to the html file:

If you look under the Product Name: column, you'll see the problem. The
CSS style is cssStlye0036. You can search for ProductName or ö to see
the code.
I really appreciate your help. Thanks!
Ron
