Is there a way to force colums to be narrower than the default in the
Table (basic) table environment?
The first line of my column is:
Amount spent on store modernization by the chains
The columns underneath are all single numbers, meaning they have huges
spaces to the right:
year Amount spent on store modernization by the chains
=== =================================================
1933 33,000,000
1934 37,000,000
Do I have to use the more sophisticated TABLE module? (I hope not,
because I have already laid out things with Table!)
Thanks
Paul

This works, but it had the unintended consequence of making a footnote
in the same column the same width. The footnote on the bottom of the
table looks like:
1 There was a recession in 1938 which
damp ened sp ending on modernizing.
Though, the 1938 figure was still above
the spending of 1936.
Thanks
