Having created my own website, I find that, in one of the pages, the phone numbers disappear quickly when it is opened (in Explorer). If I edit the phone numbers so there is no gap between the two parts i.e. from ????? ?????? to ??????????? then the number does not disappear. What is causing this? Is it some setting on my pc? My operating system is Vista, The Website software I use is Dreamweaver, and the FTP I use is FileZilla.

I can't reproduce the behaviour you are seeing in IE6, IE7, FF3, Safari or Chrome, so it may be something on your machine. I realise you have posted this question in the DW forum, but I notice that it looks like an export from Word, so it's unlikely to work properly in any case. Have a look at the 893 errors on the page at to see why.
As a general rule for any layout issues you should run the validator on the page and correct the issues it raises before doing anything else.

Thanks, johnwm. Good lord, 893 errors! As you say, I suppose this is the result of saving the original table, in Word, as a Web Page and bringing it in to Dreamweaver. I'm not sure what I should be looking for in these error messages, but there is a "clean Up Word HTML" option in my version of Dreamweaver (MX 2004) which I will try. Thanks again.
