Anyway to simulate a table, i.e. to line things up?

4. Thanks - that will look a lot better than those annoying backquotes

though will still require about the same amount of trial and error and who knows how it looks in other browsers -- what looks nicely lined up in mine might be almost unreadable in another fonts.

When I'm piddling in Word in the first draft, I'll probably reduce the (ampersand)nbsp; to character width one and shade it in a medium dark color ...
