   pasted in from MS Word.

       <table width="481" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
       <tbody style="font-size:20%">
       <tr>
       <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap" width="91">
       <p align="center"><strong>Courthouse</strong></p>
       </td>
       <td valign="bottom" width="90">
       <p align="center"><strong>Code section(s)</strong></p>

 * Copying code from Microsoft Word is likely to cause you formatting issues. Use
   notepad in future.
 * For CSS-specific issues, consider [CSS-specific forums](http://csscreator.com/forum).

 * Don’t paste content from Microsoft Word into WordPress as the pasted text will
   also contain Word’s own formatting. Sooner or later, this formatting will stop
   your pages from being displayed correctly (if at all) in Internet Explorer. If
   you cannot possibly manage without Word, paste your text into NotePad (or another
   text editor) first, then copy from NotePad into WordPress.
 * Or use Windows LiveWriter.

 * First off, don’t use word for anything related to web coding. Use a plain text
   editor. You also have deprecated code in there — review table CSS here:
    [http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_table.asp](http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_table.asp)
 * CSS should go in an external file as much as possible…
 * EDIT — well, that’s certainly unanimous! LOL!

 * Thanks for the info. I am pasting the table I created from excel into word and
   then into WordPress. The code I posted is based on what was created by wordpress
   from the paste.
 * I do not know how to write the code I need and I am trying to figure out how 
   to get this table up on the page.
 * Are there any plugins that would make this easier?

 * Thanks guys. I downloaded the wp table reloaded. How do I change the font size,
   format each cell, and change the column widths?
