Hi,
I figured it could be done permanently through the Configuration Manager, 
which thanks for confirming.  But what considerations would dictate making 
this a permanent setting?  In fact, what sort of specific Web site 
difficulty would suggest doing this even temporarily?  any ordinary table? 
Or a site whose pages were all full of tables?  Or a general expectation 
that, whenever you came upon a table, at any URL, you'd always want it to 
read this way?

Thanks.

Hi,
Yes, this change can be set up on the fly through the verbosity dialog, and,
if you want that change to be permanent, you do it through configuration
manager. To do that, from any Internet Explorer window, press insert+f6 to
bring up the IE configuration. Then, do an alt+s to bring up the "Set
Options" menu.  Arrow down to HTML options and press Enter.  This is a
multi-page dialog.  Go into the Misc tab and it's the first combo box you'll
see. Set it accordingly, click OK or just whack Enter and you're in
business.

Just to clarify a bit, to my knowledge, these presentation options have
nothing to do with tables in Word.
Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong.

Tom
