    Using the notepad you can make an HTML document and also you can use table and cell tags.

     Help please!

    Depending on exactly what your after- the standard windows "edit" control, used by notepad, implements Tab stops. by using Tab you can line up your data.

    Note that you need a fixed-width font for this to work properly, but it works alright with proportional fonts, as well.

    There is no way in notepad to change the tab-stop locations, as you can with Word or other word processing programs, so you have to settle for a multiple of the default.

    OK. I'm going to give you an example how to make a table 2x2 with columns named name & address.
    First thing to do is to open notepad and write those tags below:

    <html>
    <table align=center border=1>
    <tr><td>Name</td><td>Address</td></tr>
    <tr><td>no name</td><td>no address</td></tr>
    </table>
    </html>

    Click on File, Save As.. and name it as example.html and also save it on the desktop so you can find the file easier.

    Cheers.

    And what about the <body>?

    Notepad is not a WYSIWYG editor, just a text editor.

    Try Nvu.

    That was just an example because as you know an HTML document is constituted from its HEAD and BODY.
    Here you can see all HTML references

    Start as you mean to go on is my motto.

    In other words, learn HTML right from the beginning.
