can I put text left or right of table

[DianaH]

I want to give a table a special border with spacing and I can't seem to
achieve the look I want with just one cell ... it seems that I have to apply
the same properties to all the cells for what I want.

Having said that, to overcome the above, I thought I'd put a single table
cell on the right and put text on the left, but I can't seem to get it to
work. Perhaps it's not an option to wrap text to the left or right of a
table.

Can someone confirm this please and thanks. Diana

Under Table Properties, select the Float, then choose Left or Right.

If this is what you expected ...

Text on the left and a special cell with formatting on the right try this code

<table border="0" width="50%" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<td width="25%">Text here</td>
<td style="border: 1px solid #003D80; padding: 5px" width="25%"
bgcolor="#E1F2FF">Special Cell</td>
</tr>
</table>

A table split to two cells left one with text and right one with formatting.

Thomas,
I tried that and it would place the text beside the table, it would only put
the text above or below. hmmmmmm

You need another html block element to the left / right of the floated table (like another table)

Avarinth ... I'd like to look into what you posted. I don't recall ever
seeing "special cell" formatting in FrontPage, but then ... I wouldn't have
thought to look for that. Perhaps it's html code that Frontpage can accept
but doesn't generate.
Thanks for the response.

He is using that term generically to describe the fact that only that cell
will receive the special formatting specified in the inline styles.

Just try his code and you'll see.
