Publisher's NotesMany of you know that besides running the Tips.Net websites (including the WordTips site at word.tips.net), I also run a site called Formville (www.formville.com). This site has almost two thousand free business-related forms that you can download and print out. Well, lots of people asked if we could do a site that had non-business forms in it. You know—forms that can help you do anything outside of business, from working with a babysitter to playing Yahtzee. Well, I finally started that site, and I'm starting to put forms on it. (There are currently about 50 forms on it, but more are being added weekly.) I hope you'll take the time to check it out: While you are there, make sure you check the right side of any page and sign up for the free notification service. (And, as always, if you have comments on the site, let me know. I value your feedback.) —Allen TipsIf you have an idea for a tip, send it our way.

Setting Consistent Column Widths in Multiple TablesTables are great for organizing and presenting information in a document.
