In a form, how would I get the last name to be right over the left edge of
the box underneath it. Also, what's the best way of doing lots of spaces,
requires too many for my application.
THANKS in advance!

first name last name
box underneath box underneath

While a table will work OK, you should also consider using CSS to position
each of those elements. Consider this code (inline styles shown for
clarity) -

<body>
<p style="margin-bottom:3px;margin-left:4px;">First name <span
style="margin-left:132px;">Last name</span></p>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="" style="margin:3px; ">
<input type="text" name="textfield2">
<input type="text" name="textfield" style="margin-left:50px;">
</form>
</body>

Try pasting that into a page in DW and see how it looks.
