Cell alignment?

[Mommio2]

Hi! I am very new to FP 2003. Hope someone can answer these elementary
questions, please.
I created a layout table and inserted text. Even though I tell it to
align the text left, it still centers it in every cell? Why?
Also, exactly when should you use a percent for height and width
instead of a fixed amount?
Thanks a bunch!

You have to specify left alignment on the table cell, and
not on the text.

Also, exactly when should you use a percent for
height and width instead of a fixed amount?

This is entirely at your discretion.

Percentage measurements produce a so-called "liquid
Layout" that expands and contracts to fit the browser
window. Typically, the outermost table width is 100%.

Fixed measurements produce a fixed-width layout, which
many designers find easier to cope with.
