indent text next to table

hi, i am working on a class project. i made a table with links to different the different pages (ex intro, references, etc). i want the table to be on the left side of the page and then for the text next to it to be indented. i hope that makes sense. right now the text just wraps around the table which is not so aesthetically pleasing. i hope this makes sense.
thank you.

sure. it's the table with the links to other pages, and below is the actual page titled "applications"

<table border cellpadding=10 align=left>
<tr>
<td>

<a href="index.html" target="_blank">Main Page</a>

<hr>

<a href="introduction.html" target="_blank">Introduction

<hr>

<a href="history.html" target="_blank">History</a>

<hr>

<a href="http://www.apa.org/ads/" target="_blank">Education and Careers</a>

<hr>

<a href="references.html">References</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<body bgcolor = "#FCC0E5">Applications


1. architecture
2. city planning
3. civil and sanitary engineering
4. forest and park management
5. geography

Well you BODY tag is in the wrong place, but I would do something like:

ok. i see what you did. you just added another column to the table basically and put my text in there. i guess i could just create another table with clear borders and put those next to each other. i will play around with it. thank you very much for your help! : )

Anytime - it will probably be a lot easier for you to control it that way
