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? -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Louis Perrochon, Institut fuer Informationssysteme, Zurich, Switzerland | | voice: ++1 254 7282 email: perrochon@inf.ethz.ch | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
