I've reduced my HTML right down to the bare bones to illustrate my  
problem.  What tends to happen is that, if there are spaces, then the  
cell retains its correct size but as soon as longer text appears, the  
column-sizing goes haywire. 
 
I've posted a simple example below where I would like column 02 to keep  
the declared width of 66. 
 
Any ideas here? 
 
I'll try experimenting with Neredbojias suggestions (next posting) and  
will report back. 
 
Regards and thanks,
