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

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. (http://www.nvu.com/)

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  (http://www.freewebs.com/dritongashi/htmletiketat.htm)

Start as you mean to go on is my motto.

In other words, learn HTML right from the beginning.
