Well, I have learned in the meantime, sorry if my posting was a bit premature. tabulate can very well be used for tables in floating objects, and it's interface is flexible and well documented, so it will probably become my preferred choice for now. TABLE is beta, and since the documentation is beta, too, it's perhaps a good idea to wait some time, especially if one is in a hurry to get things finished - like I am at present. But I must say that it looks like a very promising concept for the future. Eckhart
