    What I basically have is a list of stuff the goes down the page, on the left I have titles and on the right I want to get relevant names to match up with the titles. I cant seem to figure out how to do this. I know its some kind of formatting issue, when I hit space bar it only moves over one space so it doesn't look like I can do it that way.

    Thanks

    If I read you right you need to create a list and style it.

    Also sounds like it could be a table of data:

    Thanks, would you be able to style the table so there's no boarder around it?

    In the table tag add border="0"
    <table border="0">

    Tables for tabular data, divs for layout, so which you use depends on whether it's for data or layout.

    Can also use css for border styling.

    table, tr, td {border: 0px;}

    Beware of using Dreamweaver design view, it doesn't always work out as intended across browsers.

    +1 on that.

    For the kind of basic html the OP is attempting at the moment I don't think there will be too many problems using the design view as an approximation of what will appear in a browser.

    That's not to say it wouldn't be good practice to test any work in progress on as many browsers/platforms as possible.
