Hi tojo45
Unfortunately, it would seem you are expecting HTML to behave
like a printed document where Word can insert tabs and tab stops.
These don't apply in the HTML realm.
I know you said "the WYSIWYG editor does that". Indeed, it
does that if you press the spacebar a number of times to insert
consecutive spaces in an attempt to "manually space" things. This
is never a good idea. You should reconsider what Elisa suggested by
using a table.
Sincerely... Rick
