Short of dragging my laptop to Bunny's looking for Monster, Bets, Dave or even LazyDog, can someone please give me some advice? (No lectures on my ancient way of doing this please).

I'm trying to have a list (in a,b,c order) line up a certain way on a website. There are several items on the list with a lot more characters then the others; but not more then the number of charaxters in the list title. How can I center the list under the list name; but have the item names all begin at the same margin? <pre> doesn't work. Nor does <ul> <li> or tables. Unless I'm doing something wrong, which I guess I am. I don't need the list numbered, no do I need 'bullets.' Thanks.

Assuming that it's your web site, you could try this http://www.coolpage.com/.
Works like a word processor and it's drag and drop format is super easy.
Check it out for a free trial.

JTA,
It was also be much easier to use WORD and then save it as HTML, instead of actually formatting the text manually.

upon-
Thanks for the link! Think I'm going to try that the next time. Notepad is really getting to me. But I learned this way about eight years ago. Sometimes old habbits are hard to break.

JTA,

I just received your PL. For some reason, MOL emails stopped being delivered again.

Fantastic job, so far. I would probably just suggest adding some more "white space" and using a different font (Arial?) to make it a little more readable. Perhaps you should contact Dave for other design ideas.
