Hi again. Came on to check to see if I had an answer and it keeps saying loading and won't show my question and the answer? A bit puzzled. The others are loading and showing.
Thanks

I don't know where you are looking, but both your original post and a
response to it appear at
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp and on the
newsserver to which I connect with Outlook Express.
As another answer to your original question, if you want to create something
that looks like a table USE A TABLE!

I have to say that I was quite offended by your reply. Firstly I have purchased Microsoft products assuming that I can use the programs to their full capacity and my Help options in Word allowed me to go to this 'Office Discussions Group Home' which is what it is displayed as the name in my Favourites. I used this facility assuming that I could get some friendly advice on the programs that I have. As far as I know I have not sent any unsolicited questions to anyone directly - I thought this was an online, community help site, where people from around the world could maybe get some advise from other people who also have a query. I also explained that I was trying to achieve a certain layout without TABLES because that was the whole idea of the exercise. If I was using tables I wouldn't be typing here in the first place. Anyway, all fixed. Apologies for thinking that I could use my programs to their full potential. There is no mention in Word that this feature is charged by consultation.

The -- denotes an standard internet signature, and that is just Doug's
general advice to everyone to keep the discussion on the newsgroup, as often
people don't realize and will email directly to someone who responded to
their post.
However, since this forum is, as you say,

Doug did not intend any offence. He is one of the regular posters here and
as Dayo has indicated finishes all his posts with the same sig. block.
The forum in which you have asked your questions is a window into Usenet, an
unmoderated public forum where volunteers share their knowledge. There is no
obligation on anyone to be polite - although in the Word groups we usually
are - or even to answer your questions. This is not a service provided by
Microsoft. They are merely taking advantage of it. None of us works for
Microsoft, nor does Microsoft monitor the group.
The last thing any of us who service this group want is for messages to be
diverted out of the public forum into our private mailboxes, as we do not
provide free consultancy on a personal basis. Doug's sig. merely points that
out, so there is nothing for you to be offended at. If you venture into the
public newsgroups then you are likely to find much more to offend you than
this.
As for the answer to your question - if something looks like a table, is
laid out like a table and acts like a table, then it is a table. Why
re-invent the wheel?

many of them find it difficult to make their way back here and find answers.
