I ran into the problem when setting up a table - a table cell was not correctly formatted with only an empty blank space in it. I thought I found the solution - using & n b s p ; in the cell should have solved that problem. When I use it though, the typing disappears and leaves an ordinary empty blank space and the cell formatting problems. Has anyone else run into this problem? I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks,
Cindy

I realized that my previous post may have sounded a little sarcastic. I didn't mean it that way at all! I really didn't understand from your original post what you wanted to see when you use & n b s p;.

There is a difference between a space that you type with the spacebar and a space that you put in as & n b s p ; (no spaces). The spacebar space is just empty space, but the coded space actually has something there, even though you can't see it (like a placeholder). This makes a difference, because in a table, a table cell will not have any formatting if it is empty space. Here's what I am talking about.

The problem is, that on some pages nbsp is not recognized and is treated as empty space instead of "place holding" space, so I still can not created a normal looking, empty table cell.

I understand what you mean about the table appearance. I use nbsp for that frequently. I thought you wanted to see something in that space. Can you link to an example of a table where it's not working? I love debugging!

So are you using xml?

Doesn't it just make you feel so ordinary to read
