I think you're going to have a good time with <pre></pre>. You could try swapping &nbsp; for each space but they're sometimes wider than normal spaces and I suspect may have other weird side effects as well. As a print designer in a former life, by the way, the thought of you trying to format something with spaces makes my skin crawl. But I'm trying to keep my cool. miguel
