While most natural tables command can be embedded within other command the cells have to see the end command. I guess this shouldn't be a problem for your case because something simpler can be used to create your desired layout but you have to provide more information: 1. Are there blocks side by side or do you stack them only vertically? 2. Do you need a frame around each block? 3. Are (small) gaps between the blocks allowed? Wolfgang
