Bill,
What you want to do is easy. First, stop using tables to lay out your
text. You're correct about how to use floats, but you can't use them with
tables. I'd try something like this:
<div id="mainColumn">
<div id="sampleChapters">
<ul>
<li><a href="...">Table of Contents</a></li>
...
</ul>
</div>
<p>This letter is typical of the customer responses we receive:</p>
...
</div>
CSS:
div#sampleChapters
{
float: right;
width: ???px;
}

Actually I can give an existing example of what I want, but I was
reluctant to do so in case it was perceived as a sneaky
advertising plug.
Go to http://hackersnightmare.com and scroll down to where the
grey-background column starts on the right hand side.
Ideally I would like that column to end under the last of its own
content (the "Subscribe FREE" link), and the white-background
content to revert to full width.
I figured a "float: right" table would be a neat way to achieve
the effect, but I haven't been able to get it to work.
