Re: Table Graphic

Hi Eve ...

My initial thoughts ......

 I would take the text, in the right hand column, out of the images, and
use the resulting graphic as a "cell background".    (Degrades nicely ...
just won't show your red accents when not supported).

Then add the text in html (you can specifiy font face to keep to at least
set off in arial / helvetica).

Especially with the links at the bottom ..... images for text seems to be
big band width waster ... I only use them when "really" needed.

If you insist on keeping text in the images, please assist those who are
sight challenged or surfing with images off by providing the text in the
ALT Tag.

Hope that helps,

david
