In addition, avoid layout tables. They cause trouble--too much trouble. The
problem is that Outlook 2003, 2007, and 2010 all use a nonstandard rendering
engine with poor MSAA support. Assistive technology developers have had to
hack the outlook output. All of this assumes that your reader will be using
Outlook.
