Thanks Ginger. You said it much more clearly.
I went and looked at your source code and I see what Ginger means. It's not quite state-of-the-art, though tables do put things where you want them, usually.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

As Deena says, margin is outside the element and padding is inside the element.
I had it completely opposite in my mind. Thanks for the clarification.
I'm off to play with the new knowledge. I'll be back...

So it looks like Miss Edith (my iPod) does have the album art but when I play a song on her when in iTunes, the art doesn't show up. Bizarreness. But hey, at least it's working!

hey, does anyone use Robohelp regularly? or know enough about it to answer stupid questions? Their "help" has been no use to me.
I have to format a boatload of topics in RoboHelp and I did take a class but it was 3 maybe 4 years ago so, useless.
I've figured out how to creat styles, like in Word, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to friggin' set tabs. WTF? TABBING! It's so basic and it aludes me and my life will be hellish if I can't figure it out. Anybody know what the secret is?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I used to, lisah, but it's been a while. Is this RoboHelp HTML? Because if that's the case, maybe you can't actually set tab stops?

It is.

whuh? Why??? How am I supposed to format it nicely without setting tabs? This is going to make me cry I just know it.

I don't have access to the program, so don't take this as gospel. I might be completely wrong. But something like setting tab stops makes sense in a word processing application. I don't know if it's something that you do in HTML.
When you insert a tab in your document, can you switch to HTML view and see the code that it's using for the tab?

Not in Word, I don't think. At least I can't figure it out.
man, I knew this wasn't going to be easy but then was lulled into a false sense of security by the Word-like Style menus. frick frick frick

Okay, are you working in Word, or in the WYSIWYG editor in RoboHelp?
Can you use nested unordered lists to maybe achieve what you want? (Use the *ul* tag, but not individual *li* tags.) Or use a table without borders?

I don't think the album art shows up by default in iTunes. There's a button in the bottom left that will show/hide the album art.
