One of my table cells isn't letting the width be fully used up. It acts as if there's a 2 inch margin on the right side of one of the cells.

Could you help me fix this? The code is below.

Thank you!!

Ryan

That's because the table cell widths add up to only:
118 + 25 + 455 = 598
while the table has been set to be 780 in width. If you want to keep your layout as it is try setting each of the cell widths as:
118, 25 and (780-143=)637 respectively.
