If you need to indent, you would use whatever style method is provided for indenting. If you are lining up columns, use either <pre> or <table>. What are you looking to do? If you are trying to force two spaces between sentences, you could follow each period with a nonbreaking space; but you break typographical law if you do that. ;-) -Walter __________________________________________________________________________ Walter Ian Kaye <boo@best.com> | Excel | FoxPro | AppleScript | Mountain View, CA |--------- programmer ---------| http://www.natural-innovations.com/ | Macintosh | Windows |
