I all

I am not a complete new dude to web design, I do have some experience how ever compared to you guys am probably seen as new

I havnt touched web design for over a year and today trying to remember how to ride the dreamweaver bike.

I am usuing Dreamweaver MX and am stuck on tables. I find the tables are restricting me. How do I enable the tables to give me more freedom in the sense of:

Letting me freely move tables where I want
and letting me enter text any where in the table I want

Or is this not possible to do.

With a bit of practice CSS can make it very easy, it takes a bit of getting used to but with CSS you will find it a lot more easier to manage and modify your design
