\viewkind4\uc1\pard\lang2052\f0\fs20 Hi rcollier01,
\par
\par As for the multiple select column, I've performed some simple test as below:
\par
\par **create a custom list that contains a single column, the column is of multi-choice and allow multi select(use checkbox)
\par
\par ** I add some records and when editing a certain record, for the multi-choice field, it seems each choice is embeded in a single table cell (<td> ) rather than within the same table row(<tr>).
\par
\par Here is the html source of the 20 choice column(in edit mode):

\par Subject: Mulichoice Column Rendering in MOSS
\par From: rcollier01@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
\par Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:29:40 GMT
\par
\par
\par We have several mulitchoice column types in a MOSS 2007 publishing template.
\par While some of these only contain 2 or 3 items others contain a large number
\par of items (20+). These fields are placed in an edit panel and our authors
\par use these for tagging certain content pages. When a user enters edit mode,
\par these content fields are displayed in a single row table. So if we have 20
\par items, they are displayed in a table with 20 rows (a <TR> or each item). We
\par would like to be able to display items in multiple columns to enhance
\par usability We have tried to override the html output of the mulitchoice but
\par were unsuccessful. We also tried modifying the fldtypes file and that
\par didn't work either. At this point, the only option I can think of is to
\par write a custom field control but it seems a bit overkill because the out of
\par the box functionality is providing what we need, but we just need to change
\par the way the field is rendered to the page. Any ideas or other options are
\par greatly appreciated.
