RE: Using tables for content

["David Artman" <david -at- davidartman -dot- com>]

   If that's all you want to do, why not do it with a run-in "heading" for
   the instruction, which continues to the result?

   Hi all,
   So, whilst I search the archives, can we have a live discussion on the
   pros and cons of using tables for tech writing content. Consider a
   traditional procedure that uses step: in the left column, the action,
   and in the right column, the result. It seems, for Word, each row needs
   to be numbered manually.
   Conversely, there is standard ordered list approach without using a
   table.
   Thoughts?
   Sean
