hi karen

the page is so heavy that it wants to open in wordpad rather than
notepad -- that's not necessarily bad, but it is a serious warning sign,
that the contents of your table (which makes up the entire page) might be
too complex for the browser to render it the way you thought you coded it

your problems may be related to this --

  <table width="98%"
    <tr>
      <td width="84%"
        <table  width="98%"
          <tr>
            <td
              <table width="90%"
                <tr>
                  <td
                    <p
                    <table width="70%"

ask yourself what the result will be if the browser were to interpret the
percentage width in each case as the percentage of the window rather than
the percentage of the thing it's contained in

sorry, i was unable to track down what was causing your table to blow up

perhaps you could make a clean template without (a) the nav bar down the
left, and (b) the directory stuff

that will at least let you isolate the problem
