Why is the upper left leg of my "W" clipped?

Hi. I'm using FP 2003 and I've noticed that sometimes when a capital "W"
character is the first or leftmost character in a line of text in a table,
the upper left leg gets clipped when I view the page in my browser (IE 6.0).
Does anybody know what is causing this and/or how it can be worked around or
remedied?

Those damn Kerry people probably had something to do with it.

You have some funky <br /> tags that may be causing it.
Edit the ones that look like this <br /> so that they look like this <br>

I don't think that's a good idea ----->

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

although I note that there are other non-XHTML syntax <br> tags -

Facsimile: 740-929-5601<br>
<br>

I note that the funky "W" characters are all within this table -

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse:
collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%">

Whereas the ones that look OK are here -

<table width="127" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

I suspect this has something to do with the bordercolor assignment - try
removing that and see what happens....

It's an anomoly with Windows. Can't be fixed. Kerry

I think the rest of the thread demonstrates that this can be fixed by using
padding, no?

When you posted before I mentioned that you had malformed <br> tags on the page.
Did you fix them??

They looked like <br/> instead of <br>

Steve:

For sure, that's not the problem. Those are just XHTML breaks. The real
problem is discussed in a later post in that thread.

I know, but iirc the entire page wasn't xhtml.
Or my glasses needed cleaning.
