tables and text placement IE problem

I have a problem that's driving me nuts. I create a 3 column table with MX
2004. I set the cells for the text to be at the top of each cell. When I open
the page in IE, the vertical distances of the text are messed up. They are much
greater than they should be. It is not the same as I see it in MX 2004. If I
open the page up in Netscape, the text alignment is perfect. Please see:
http://www.mc.edu/campus/academics/BIO/test2.htm for the what I mean. I cannot
figure out how to fix this. I really need the text spacing to be like what I
see in MX 2004. Would someone please help me.

Many thanks,
Stan

you might try setting the "width" of the cells to 33% (3 X 33% = 99% --
rounded up to 100% of the total width of the table). drag your mouse over
all of the cells and set the width in the properties bar to 33% -- this will
be applied to all cells.

hope that helps

You do not set the page margins, the table cellpadding or cellspacing.
That means that you're allowing the browser to use its default values
for those. They will vary from browser to browser. Set your page
margins, table cellpadding and cellspacing to some specific values and
the display should be closer between browsers.
