Quite honestly, if it was me, I would look for ways to pare down the information on the table. Decide what's REALLY important and what can be shortened/done away with. I did a page with a similar idea: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~okgarftp/cemetery/index.html Use one column to list other source sites instead of three (4?) for instance. [ Is it really necessary to give the number of graves listed on each site - that number will change ] I used a small globe symbol to indicate if a site had a map. You could use a small camera image to indicate pictures. On 10/15/2011 12:03 PM, Jane Irish Nelson wrote: > Ralph, thank you!

Thanks, Billie, I really like your cemetery table (BTW, there is an extra "m" in the page title), and you have a good point. Basically, I took an excel table that a colleague sent me and added the formatting, so I would have to ask her before making any layout changes.
