Constructing tables in the Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) is often a difficult process for many HTML software packages since a table has often to be built cell by cell.

Building small tables is a bind but not always a big problem. However, even small tables take a lot longer to mark up than they ought because they also have to be built cell by cell. I have used Dreamweaver 4, Dreamweaver MX, Arachnophilia, 1st Page 2000 and MS Word as my HTML Editors over the years and good as each package is, noen of them can fully help me in my quest to build any table that can be considered good enough at building tables in HTML without having to waste loads of time ... I know the way and can show you how to build, for example, a 10 column by 100 row table in around 2 minutes!

I removed this page as I tried to negotiate with a PC Magazine to publish it more formally. However, they never responded to my suggestion and I will publish it here if anyone wants it ... to see how YOU can set up a table in HTML within seconds rather than minutes using nothing other than a bit of Office knowledge, let me know. If 100 people ask me for this page by the end of October 2003 I'll load it, otherwise this will disappear!
