2. I want to use a table in my post

When I produce the table using a Word document, all the columns line up well. But when I preview it here, there are no spaces between the columns, and each row lines up differently, depending upon how many letters or numbers are in each column, so the end result is a messed up jumble that can hardly be read, and certainly not fit for posting.

Thanks.
