 * Hi,
    This has probably been answered somewhere, but I have searched for awhile.
   Basically, I want to know how to write a post in the visual view without the 
   test running over into my sidebar.
 * Also, if I write the post in Microsoft Word, is there a way to format the text
   or the paragraph to a certain size, so that when I post it in HTML, I can be 
   assured that it’s just the right size to fit into the space that’s available 
   on my page without running over off the page or into my sidebar.
 * Thanks

 * Do you mean to create a table in Word, or some other program with a border of
   0?

 * yes, but I think you should not create a table in word. Try using table tag (
   html) in html editor..
