Hi  
In my site at  
[http://ond.vvkso-ict.com/flash/brochure/BrochureHandelsonderwijs.swf](http://ond.vvkso-ict.com/flash/brochure/BrochureHandelsonderwijs.swf)  
I use external textfiles, formatted in html (Openen --\> Start --\> Click on any name)  
Because there are tables (columns) in several texts, I have only managed to display the text in **\_typewriter** font which is non-proportional so that I can use spaces to create columns. I’d rather use a font like **\_sans** or **arial** or any other. In that case I don’t know how to handle and format the columns.  
Is there a solution for my problem?  
Thanks  
Guy
