Hi Jay and everyone, It turns out this does help, as I can now manipulate the spacing across different platforms. However there is still an issue with Safari.
In other browsers it seem that the proper setting is > td { > padding-left: 40px; > } but in Safari, this makes the content in the table appear too far to the left. In Safari this must be set to 16px. If you have Safari and can check out: http://em-w.com/resume.html you'll see what I mean. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you!
