buttons "shifting"?

| Hi,
When i paste large amounts of data (ie: from Word), or insert images, my navbar buttons shift down.... I am using tables, my "body" is in a nested table.
Anyone?
Thanks,
MattG

| It's very likely that what you copy from Word carries with it formatting
data, such as font size/color, graphics placement, etc., that is (often)
poorly coded from an HTML point of view. Dreamweaver and FrontPage both do
their best at rendering RTF (Rich Text Format) and other formatted text as
HTML, but if you look in Code view, you'll see the gobbledegook. Without
seeing your code, it's hard to offer advice beyond the suggestion to use
Dreamweaver's Commands > Clean Up Word HTML.... feature. That may do it.
In any case, the answer is probably that the extra formatting -- usually
invisible in Design view -- is your culprit.

| make sure your table cell aligment (vertical) is "top" not "middle" or "default".

| I believe the problem you are having can be simplified if you consider this
example -
Put a 2 row by 2 column table on the page. Merge the two right hand cells
into a single column. Put an image into each left cell, and you will see
that they merge vertically seamlessly. Now begin to add content to the
merged cell on the right and you will see that at some point you will have
forced the two left cells to begin to split apart vertically. The more
content you add to the right, the further apart the two left cells will get.
See what I mean?
To solve the problem, instead of making your page sit in a single table,
have it in several nested tables. You should be able to put a two column
table on the page with a nested table in each column. Put your navigation
in the left nested table, and the
content in the right nested table. Now, changes to either of the inner
table's
structure will not affect either of the inner nested tables.

| Thanks Murray!
you were right on as usual! I needed the Vert alignment on ALL of the nested columns.
Thanks a bunch!
