Sam,
just set a value for the width of the column like so:
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<h3>This is text that fills the width of the first row.... A
large paragraph of text.</h3>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="200px" valign="top">An image usually goes
here.</td>
<td valign="top"><p><b>Some short text here.</b></p></td>
</tr>
</table>
percentages work as well, if you want to be fluid.
HTH,
