@ Dave08: Welcome to TSF!

Can you tell in which direction the table shifts?

Invest some time in understanding CSS. This will be of great benefit, for more info on tables see here:

to center your table see here:

Hi thanks for taking the trouble to give me a hand, the main table jump either left or right depending on which you are navigating, it is only about 5 px and aout half of the pages are in one place and the remainder in the other place (about 5px away) so i have checked and rechecked the property settings (as i did most of the site in design view) and can find no discernable difference. i have read a few comments that say safari isn't quite as up to date as I.E. etc and that I should learn CSS. I have had a look at the links you posted adn to be honest it's going to take me a while to get to grips with it.
but ma thanks for your help!

@ Dave08: Can you tell me which pages it happens and to which side it shifts?

Anyway, yes it will take some time to learn CSS/(X)HTML. If you want to learn, take your time. Your site is fine, even with a shift using Safari
