Matt, if you draft your FAQ's in Microsoft Word, spelling and grammar suggestions will be made for you. I can understand why you might not use the iHub spell checker given it's limitations. I do caution you, use of a spell checker can leave you open to being accused of being elitist <vbg>.

Yeah, where in the heck is this place?? I can never find rules or help around here! How do I get there?
BTW, I didn't know about the table thingy. No wonder my tables were always ascue.

Matt:

It isn't very clear that there are more to the FAQ's from the first page by clicking the FAQ at the top. As well perhaps a link showing there are MORE at the bottom of that page would help. Just a suggestion.

Here's a quote just for you. Or you and Bob.

For tables, I do it just a bit differently (now if I can just figure a way to make this display):

[ pre ]
Date Open High Low Close Volume Adj. Close*
Jun-05-03 17.45 17.74 17.33 17.64 3,669,600 17.64
Jun-04-03 17.30 17.79 17.14 17.60 4,842,900 17.60
Jun-03-03 17.44 17.67 17.02 17.31 6,443,900 17.31
Jun-02-03 18.10 18.29 17.27 17.45 7,474,800 17.45
May-30-03 18.12 18.18 17.53 17.95 6,834,800 17.95
[ /pre ]

In the foregoing, I inserted spaces in the [<command>] so they wouldn't execute. Then I tried to show the layout of the data. Unfortunately, the system removes the extra spaces which I've used for formatting, so you can't see the way it was entered. However, take my word for it, it looked just like the following:

 
    Date       Open     High     Low     Close      Volume   Adj. Close*  
 Jun-05-03    17.45    17.74    17.33    17.64    3,669,600    17.64  
 Jun-04-03    17.30    17.79    17.14    17.60    4,842,900    17.60  
 Jun-03-03    17.44    17.67    17.02    17.31    6,443,900    17.31  
 Jun-02-03    18.10    18.29    17.27    17.45    7,474,800    17.45  
 May-30-03    18.12    18.18    17.53    17.95    6,834,800    17.95  
 

I don't know see how the columns were created from the example you put in the FAQ. Oh, incidentally, I use an ancient version of Netscape, 4.51, so maybe the world is a little different for me.

Doesn't flow nicely to me. Too many onlys?
