I also remember some other problems with tables being reported not so long ago (usage of \AR, \MR, \FR, \LR, ... causing problems in macros). But thanks for the hint. I'll take a look at TXSruled, I never heard about it before. (I hate the way tables are dealt with inside any flavour of TeX anyway.) Mojca
