IE 6 and 7 shows my content following to the right rather than down (the way it is intended to display). This works in firefox, safari, google chrome, etc. Please help! Here is the Url for an example: http://ssihc.org/index.php/programs

Hi,
I'm not positive that this is the issue, but I see tons of extra inline styles, probably a result of copying and pasting from MS Word directly into the text editor. If you'd look at the source you'll see lots of stuff like this:
Code:
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT';">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;">


That can cause lots of problems (and just isn't pretty), to clean up your code, you can:
a. edit the article, highlite all the code and use the cleanup button (looks like an eraser)
b. paste all your Word text into notepad and then copy that and paste into the article
c. use the JCE editor (http://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/) and after you copy from Word, use the "Paste from Word" button (looks like the Word logo), this will try to keep your formatting, but convert to web-friendly code
OR, the best option:
d. do all your writing and formatting directly in the text editor (be sure to save often)
