Tis is a possibility, but if the following text [in my example b)] is a
huge paragraph, it is not realizeable.

I give a sample for the problem on my neglected page
"http://www.bk-tex.de/csetquest.html" [= (c)olum(set)-(quest)ion]

The text on the second page (see the pdf-file) should be placed in a
short distance to the table.

I know that this is not the best method to handle this job but it
shows good what I mean.
