Formatting tables, etc., in this forum

[raskew]

This forum, in my opinion, has a lot of great features. However, formatting responses has been an absolute nightmare for me, particularly when including tables. Anyone who's ever seen one my responses, in which I've attempted to provide a well justified column of items has to, rightfully so, conclude that when formulating responses and making them looking pretty,this guy doesn't know squat.

Would appreciate a short tutorial if someone is willing to spend the time.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi Bob,
I find good old note pad is pretty handy for this: I have a shortcut on the taskbar and when note pad is up I can make it slim enough to work on it and read the questions (or copy/paste them too.)
I never use tab stops as something just doesn't gel when pasted back to here.
I have tried copying a record from an Access table but it's always a mess. Faster just to type...or paste to note pad and retype without the inherited tabs. Hope that helps to satisfy but in anycase, its your excellent content that counts more than the look, and btw...thank you very much for it! Gord
