    I’m a noob – be gentle I know very little code of any type.

    If i want to format my text by typing a persons title on the left margin but then indent their name on the same line but over about 100px to the right how do I achieve that?

    e.g.
    “President:” Approx 100px across “You see Obama”

    “” Denote the text I want to display

    Can anybody assist me please?

    here’es another question for you, what if i had several lines with different titles and different names.

    How do i get the names in the right indented column to match up neatly? Do I just have gradually add and subtracted px from the numbers to get them to align or is there a code that does the same thing doesn’t take into account the characters in the title column which vary greatly?

    Thanks again

    Do you know how to use CSS. If not, I’d recommend the following resources:
