Hi Steve,
For FP 2000, In normal view there are several ways to create a table. One of the easiest ways to create a table is to select <TABLE>, <INSERT>, < TABLE>, this will bring up a table insertion window. This will probably give you the most control to start with. From that window you can adjust your rows and columns, then set the layout for alignment, border size, cell padding, cell spacing and then specify width in pixels or percent.
I sometimes will use additional blank cells to achieve the spacing that I desire.
Switching to HTML view you can check on your table and see what additional formatting that FP is adding. Sometimes it's ok and other times I will force my tables by adjusting the HTML code.
Switching back to Normal view I can use my mouse to highlight the cells that I want to adjust, then right mouse click on the highlighted cell to insert rows, delete cells, split cells, merge cells and distribute columns evenly.
Playing with the width in pixels or percent can be useful as well.
If you want your tables to resize when your browser window is resized, then choose percent, otherwise you can lock it down with the width set at pixels.
After you have looked at the HTML code enough, you will start to see things that don't look right.
Your graphics can be dropped into your table in Normal View before you start to adjust the size and layout or you can set your table and then drop them in. But adding graphics after the fact may destroy your perfect set up. Experiment and try both.
Hope this sets you in the right direction.
