Using 2007 HTML Designer in Visual...

Hi,

I'm having a devil of a time with 2007 HTML designer in visual mode. If you know the answers to my questions, I would appreciate your help...

While working on existing site (two columns and a header 779 px), I did something wrong and all the text in my right-hand column bounced to the left with only one word per line. It looks like this:

I's
really
crazy
when
the
text
scrunches
up
like
this.

I tried undo button repeatedly, but it wouldn't work. How can I restore it to normal formatting? And how can I avoid doing this again?

My other questions (all relating to visual mode):

1. How can I set the number of actions the undo button will work on? I want it to extend further backwards and help me undo more things.

2. I have seen and understand the insert table/table wizard functions. But they only apply to new creations. How do I reformat existing text, margins and other elements in an existing table/cell?

3. Spacing, margins and text position appear differently in visual editing mode than in preview mode. (There are more differences when I view it in test mode using the default browser. ) How can I get visual editing mode to align more closely with preview, so the final results look like they should look in visual mode?

4. For some reason, in preview mode my banner (779 pix) starts to repeat and extend about 1/4 in over the two columns below it. How can I eliminate this?

Thanks, thanks, thanks!

Here is a snippet of code from my current project.

<table width="100%" border="0" bordercolor="" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" bgcolor="white">.


<tr><td width="20%" align="left" rowspan="2"><img src="images/Logo.png" width="224" height="72" alt="" border="0" align="top"></td>.

when changing the 20% property to another value it can really bugger up the rest of the table layout causing my images and text to be located in an unacceptable positon - there are tree other <td> tags that I did not include here but betwee the three <td> values they make up the 100% value in the <table> property.

Hope that helps - If your table is layed out with css then you will have to play around with the table class and properties values.

Always keep a current back up some where safe - I recently had to restore my XP with a full disk back up that did not contain a current back up of my html files - Needless to say I lost a lot of hard work and have since strarted keeping a daily back up of certain files and setting to restore over my disk restore image if needed.

cheers
