Hi Mat, thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate that!
Oh, yes I know the edit mode of the TW5 tables, that can be really frustrating too. But I use it actualy quiet often, especially when I ma preparing travelschedules where I want to compare different days, routes of transports. Departure/arrival times, stopover time, names places, meetings etc. But the HTML export I get is far far worse then the TW5 tables Cheers! Ed.
