Goodevening all,

The examples in the 'natural tables' manual are nice [although I keep
wondering why you would {\em ever} need some specimina], but what I'm
looking I'm not able to fabricate.

What I want is one line with words like invoice: date: etcetera,
and the following line will contain the proper data [like in Victor
Eijkhouts ntg-letter].

I'm not sure tables (maybe columns?) are the solution, but this is what
I've got [a portion of it] sofar. It won't work, that is: somehow I'm
not able to adjust the width of the columns? Can anybody see what's
wrong here?


\starttekst
\hbox \bgroup \ignorespaces
\bTABLE
\setupTABLE[column][1][width=1cm]
\setupTABLE[column][2][width=2cm]
\setupTABLE[column][3][width=3cm]
\setupTABLE[column][4][width=4cm]
\setupTABLE[column][5][width=10cm]
\bTR
\bTD {\ss\bf factuur:} \eTD
\bTD {\ss\bf debiteur:} \eTD
\bTD {\ss\bf betreft:} \eTD
\bTD {\ss\bf de dato:} \eTD
\bTD {\ss\bf uw kenmerk:} \eTD
\eTR

\bTR
\bTD \getvariable{factuur}{factuurnummer} \eTD
\bTD \getvariable{factuur}{debiteurnummer} \eTD
\bTD \getvariable{factuur}{betreft}\eTD
\bTD \getvariable{factuur}{werkdatum}\eTD
\bTD \getvariable{factuur}{uwkenmerk}\eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\unskip \egroup
\stoptekst


Furthermore this section of the Invoice-style will be followed by
figures ;-], and again my question is: should I use columns or tables
here?

Thanks in advance,

Roef Ragas
