I created a webpage in Dreamweaver using a table in the Layout mode. In the first column I have a navigator bar with several rows for each link. The problem happens when I start putting different size cells into the second and third columns. Sometimes the first column starts to expand moving the links down. How can I sterilize the first column so it doesn’t expand.

Table problems

First of all using tables for Layout, is not recommended. The preffered method is with divs, and CSS.
Anyway to answer your question, Table cells are interdependent, that means that if one cell grows, the rest of them grow. To get around this add another table inside the cell you don't want to grow, and put your menu in there.
Tht way th inner table can have its ow dimensions and not be affected by the outer cell.

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

Code:
[blue]<table>
<tr><td>[/blue][red]<table><tr><td>menu</td></tr></table>[/red]
[blue]</td>
<td>middle cell</td><td>right cell</td>
</table>[/blue]----------------------------------
