Yeah. Figured it would be tough, but was hoping there was something
standard to put table header on top of each page for printed
media. (Sounds simple enough).

Not going with sgml right now because I need to get the doc out asap and
I'm not up to speed with sgml. (this might be tough there too)

So for now I'm sticking with html and forsaking the per page table
headers. But I have another problem.  After several sublists my tables
are significantly indented (<ol><ol><ol><ol><table>).

I don't want to break out of the ordered lists, the table belongs
nested, but is there a way to make the table the full width of the
document?

PS was a link for printed CSS info missing?
