I think what you need to do for what you want is to have a table within a table. First you need one big table with two cells - one, say, 20% width (for the links) and one bigger, for the text. For both cells, put valign="top" in the td tags. Then within the cell for the links, make another table, this time with width 100%. Then make one or more cells in this embedded table and put your links in there. Then go back to the cell in the original table for your text, and put your body in there. I think that should do it.
