Christine and others:
The <TR> and <TD> tags support a WIDTH parameter for you to *force* an
equal column width.
Example:
<TABLE WIDTH="100%">
<TR><TD WIDTH=500 VALIGN="top">This is the first column.</TD>
<TD WIDTH=500 VALIGN="top">And this is the 2nd column.</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
VALIGN is probably not needed here, but would align the column
information
along the top of the row/column.
