If you use repeated nbsp to make
fake tables, your viewers will see the columns misaligned since most likely
they will be viewing with a different font, or a different edition of the
same font. A similar comment applies to using empty elements for
vertical spacing. It's the same issue as using repeated spaces and empty
paragraphs in Microsoft Word. You need to use the more complex feature:
tables.
Painfully true as I discovered. I also discovered that the automatic doodad
for converting Word text to HTML does just that. It also converts a tab at
the beginning of a paragraph into 3 nbsp's. But something *in* HTML would
not go amiss -- for the ordinary user.
As noted elsewhere, I strictly started under Eisenhower, but cannot make any
machine do much of anything anymore.
