PRE is used to create tables if your browser doesn't support such functions. If a browser is not using fixed width fonts for text inside a PRE tag, then something is wrong with that browser and it is not following the HTML standard. People should complain to the browser manufacturer about that. L Michaels http://members.aol.com/lauram3017/index.html
