Set Table

Hi, I have a table and in the table i have an other table and I want the inside table to be set at the very top but instead its aligned at the center and depending on the how much info I have in the inside table it alters the location of the table. I want the inside table to be set at a specific location and stay set at that location without moving up or down depending on the amount of information being shown in that table.
Can anyone help me? If anyone could give me any type of help I will greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.

Click anywhere in the inner table in Design view. Look at the Quick Tag
Selector bar at the bottom of the document window. Click on the rightmost
<table> tag to select that inner table. Then put the left arrow on the
keyboard once. Your insertion point should now be in the cell that holds
that table. Look at the Property inspector and set Valign to TOP. That
will give you this code -

<table width="800" height="600" background="/images/midpage.gif"
cellspacing="15" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">

The table data cell has to be valigned to the top. Sorry that wasn't
specific. I just made a sample and it works .. here is the code:

<table width="770" height="600" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td height="321" align="center" valign="top"><table width="402"
height="130" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ut aliquip ex ea commodo
consequat. Ullamco laboris nisi excepteur sint occaecat duis aute irure
dolor. Quis nostrud exercitation eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Ut aliquip ex ea
commodo consequat. Consectetur adipisicing elit, cupidatat non proident, sed
do eiusmod tempor incididunt.</p>

</td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
</table>

I've tried that before and it didn't seem to work. This is my code:

<table valign="top" width="770" height="600" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

and then the table is inside of here.

valign=top

You can set that in the Table Property Inspector.
