Any time you have large, unbreakable content, you are going to run into problems in IE. It sounds like you have long words in the right column that, when enlarged, no longer fit. You could work around this by setting the width of this column in ems so that it expands with the content, but if your overall layout is fixed in pixels, this will mean your content area would keep getting smaller and smaller, which could be just as problematic. Sounds like we need to see a page to really give you any good advice. Zoe -- Zoe M.
