tables and cells ??

Hi everyone,
I'm amending some's site which is set out in tables & cells.... the
top cell has the header/banner of the page, and the cell has a
background image.
Problem is that cell doesnt go all the way across the top of the page,
controlled as it is by the widest cell below, what I think I need to
do is move the table down from the top of the page and give myself some
"free space" up there outside the table - to put the top banner? but
how would I move the table down to do that?
many thanks.
there's also a "page background" which extends beyond the page
tables.... this also highlights the fact that the top table ends
abruptly.~ could be I should be looking at taking page background off?
and making it table background? then the top cell might "fit" better?

Not sure if I'm reading this correctly but is the problem that you
have a table at the top of the page and you want to place some content
above it?

If so, you need to place your cursor within the offending table then
position it at the top left, so it comes immediately before the first
content in that table. If the table contains only a single image, you
can highlight the image, then click the left arrow key.

Then hit Enter, and the cursor comes out of the table and sits
immediately above it.

If you want to escape from the bottom of a table, position the cursor
at the bottom right of the table then type Ctrl+Enter.

But maybe that's not what you meant at all. :)
many thanks.

You can leave page background as it is and set the same colour for
table background, if you think this will help. The table background
colour will override the page background colour if the colours are
different.
