I am trying to improve the look of an HTML table for a report (that needs to be pasted into Word).
In the output, I would like to improve the justification of the numbers (or any other suggestion to make the HTML look nicer). The columns are a little hard to read.
Its not really the HTML's job to look nice, HTML is (supposed to be) purely semantic. Here is a table, here is a row, here is a cell with some stuff in it. To make a web page look nice you write an accompanying CSS file that styles the HTML - blue background, purple text and so on. But you want to paste into Word. I pasted it into OpenOffice (not got Word) and could easily style it from there - highlight the column, set left-justification and so on. Word should be similar. If you love Word for its wysiwyg behaviour, I suggest you do that. Barry
