Hi
I am going to use a table to contain links on the left hand side of the page. How would i make all the other text appear on the right side of the table, rather than below it?
Thanks

Using tables for layout is NOT a good idea. We recently went over this topic at great length (see: Tables, Why Not? (http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34991)) When you wish to do something like this, you should use CSS (http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp). There are many reasons for this, as you will see if you read that large thread I gave you earlier.

Also see Taming List link in my sig. The quick answer is put links in a unordered list. Float the <ul> to the left and use some margin-left on the text that's going to the right so it doesn't totally wrap around the <ul> if you want. Basically, something like this (http://www.matts-website.net/sandbox/index2.html)
