Has anyone used the tables in the description panel? I make a two column table try to type in the first window and the center vertical line moves right with every character I type.

Hi riverroad & Exit Tek,
Thanks for posting your questions here. When you create a table through our description editor, it is expected that the width of a column in the table will increase with each character that you enter in the table, but you can potentially prevent those from happening by modifying the HTML code for the table to set a fixed width for each column.
If you would like to modify your table in this manner, you will first want to create the table using the "Insert/Edit Table" button on the description editor and then click the "Source" or "HTML" tab/link along the top of the editor. You should then be able to find some table HTML within the description HTML that looks something like:
<table width="200" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="1"><tbody><tr><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td> </td></tr></tbody></table>
When you find that code, you will want to replace the very first <td> with <td width="____px">, with the width of each column (in pixels) replacing the blank. In this example, the entire table was 200 px and there were 2 columns, so I would set the fixed width to 100 px to make them the same size.
I hope this helps. If you need any further assistance with your account, please feel free to contact our customer support team by mousing over the "Help" tab and selecting the "File Support Case" option.
