Hi everyone,

I have a table which, in order to line up with other information, needs
to have very exact column widths.

So far I have implemented the following with normal HTML tables ...

<td align="RIGHT" width="77">

.... which works OK most of the time.

However, sometimes the data contained in the table overshoots the column
width and the table starts to 'distort' which completely messes up my
presentation.

Maybe someone has a suggestion for setting the column widths exactly?
Here I am wondering if there is a relationship with the declared table
width? Or whether there is a setting that can be switched on or off to
force exact width?

Many thanks for any tips you can give me.

Regards,
Alan Searle
