I would like to use the print merge command to put a list into a table. This
does not work they way I tried.

1. If my main document allready is a table, the result are individual tables
for each entry in the data document. How can I cocatenate these tables???
(I found out how to remove the section breaks, but don't know how to get rid of
the paragraph-marks, wich separate the tables.)

2. If my main document produces a tab-separated list of items, I could
transform it to a table, but I then have to set the width of each column
separately. This is boring, as the table is fairly long, and there are
about 20 columns. (After I changed the width of 1 column, it takes about
30 seconds to format the whole thing) And I can just sit there and wait.

Any hints?
