This is a problem that I've always had also.  I do my page composing in
Netscape and my pages look perfect in that browser; but they look quite
different in MSIE and horrible in AOL's version of MSIE.

Using tables helps to at least keep the various browsers from paginating
and breaking the lines in the wrong places, but they still don't look
exactly alike.

I'd be interested to hear any responses to see if there's anything that can
be done to make the various browsers read the pages the same.
