>>At this stage the new table is inserted but when I attempt to select a column, what happens is that cells from the previous column are also selected. This is a problem as my users would like to set the text justification for all cells in a single column.

 

You have to set text justification for all cells one by one or use the style sheet. There is no column justification syntax in HTML code.

 

table style="WIDTH: 320px; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=3 border=1>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
