These settings control a very powerful page layout capability of Terry Morse Myrmidon. When this option is checked, Terry Morse Myrmidon will build an invisible table to accurately locate all text and images in a document. This feature is part of our Wizzy-Web[TM] Technology, since it virtually produces "what you see is what you get" Web pages. We strongly recommended always using this very advanced feature, unless you are producing very simple single-column Web pages. If you try to convert a complex multi-column document with this option turned off, the resulting Web page will be unintelligible.
