yes, the problem is the align attribute.  align="right" means "flow all 
following content around the left of this object".

try putting <br clear="right"> after each 'indented' table.

also, as a matter of good practice you should put all your attribute values 
in quotes.

and a final thought: tables are an icky way to achieve this indentation. 
another way to do it is with <blockquote></blockquote> 's.  just as icky, 
but a helluva lot easier.
