Ok, I'm obviously havin a major brain fart today... I am having problems getting my text to "align" to the left, but be offset to the right a bit without having to use " " over and over and over and over.... I've tried <div> and <span> but they don't work like what I'm wanting.... I thought I almost had it down when I started putting table after table inside of the main table... and just aligning them differently... but now i've got text that overlaps, aligns all funky, and just won't do what i want! Anyway, here is a sample of what I'm talking about...

Well, you get the general Idea... I don't know what on earth i'm doin wrong... but i've beat my head against the wall for a while now trying to figure this one out... I guess I'm just not that good with HTML, I don't know all the features I suppose. I know it's possible because I've seen it on thousands of other sites... but they usually have it set up through css somehow and I can't access the style sheets... Anyway, if anyone could help I would be more than grateful. Thank you.
