Tabled page appears fine in ie6, nn4.7 and 6.2, and Opera 5. In ie6 only, the text of the 3rd col moves right about 50px when printing. There's a sample of the problem set to my user profile homepage. You don't actually have to print it; it can be observed with Print Preview. I assume the 2nd col is expanding, but not sure because when I change the table border from 0 to 1, the problem disappears. I'm stumped! What gives?

the only thing that I can see that might be a little weird is this

<td width="140" align="left" valign="top">
<table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#003399" bordercolorlight="#003399" bordercolordark="#003399">
<tr>
<td width="140" valign="top" id="menu">

if the table inside the cell is 140, same size as the cell, and the table is cellpadded it might screw up the alignment.

sorry, its the only thing I can see, no idea if that is it.

Thanks for the idea, but no luck there. Since it renders in all those browsers the same, I'm wondering if its a IE bug.

There are a few small glitches in your code:

1. Line 75 - Font tag closed too many times

2. Line 81 - quotes are off: td width="20 colspan="1""

Thanks, corrected now. I was able to test in ie5 today. No problems there. It looks like it's just ie6. I finally put some left aligned white gifs in the 2nd col that I was using for a text margin. That seems to take care of it. Thank you both for taking the time to have a look and offer your suggestions.
