I'm having a rough time with inserting tables and text creeping around it so that you can't see thewhole table nor can you see the text that's creeping. I don't want to spend a ton of time on this, if possible. See my latest post (very embarrassing) for an example of the messes I'm getting myself into.

Any suggestions?

Now, I don't have my glasses on, but it looks fine to me, Tina. Nice table too!

I noticed that the right line of the table is not showing up on your post. You might want to try changing the size of the table before you upload it to your blog. Are you uploading it like a picture? Customize your settings in th epicture upload area to make the upload image area smaller -- if it is set at 300 pixels right now, change it to 280 pixels.

Paula,

I'm just copy-and-pasting it from Word. i thought, perhaps ignorantly, that if I didn't change page margins, the whole thing would fit! not only does the right table line not show, but some text is shoved up against that side that you can't see (if you notice, the next paragraph starts mid-sentence) I am so computer-illiterate.

So, do you think if I narrow the margins still more in Word it would help?

OK, so I tried squishing the margins and tried extending the margins, to no avail. When i squish them, the whole table shows, but (even more) text still wraps around the table. When I extend teh margin, there's the problem of the right margin of the table extending off the page as well as the text wrapping. Frustrating!

Did you fix it already, Tina? I just stopped by and it looks fine to me. I'm using Firefox. Perhaps it's a browser thing?

Okay, Tina, I had some time and checked again. Your latest post seems to be fine, is it the other one that you're trying to fix?

The only thing I can think of that can fix something like this is an "iframe". I don't know if an iframe will "play well" with TypePad though.

I copied your table into an iframe on my blog.

See if this is what you want and I'll tell you how to do it:)

hth,

I'm not Tina, but I'd love to know how this is done.

Hi KC, glad to oblige:

You use this code:

<iframe src="the html address of whatever "stuff" you want to put in there" width="whatever # of pixels can be accommodated by your blog column"></iframe>

the "stuff" has to be in html format, so for Tina's table I separated out everything from <table> to </table> in her code, put it in its own html file, uploaded the html file to my folders, and linked to that in the iframe.

to create a simple html file with a table in it, type this on notepad:

<html>
<head>
<title>whatever title you want</title>
</head>
<body>
TABLE STUFF GOES HERE, i.e., <table><tr><td>, etc., etc.</table>
</body>
</html>

save it as "*.html" -- so if you want to call it "kcstable" you would ignore the suffix when you save it and save it as "kcstable.html" instead of "kcstable.txt" -- minus the quotes.

here it is minus the iframe

FYI, Tina, I was using Firefox too and it looked perfect.
