I need to be able to do the following: - Repeating header row with coloured background and text (I can get this working with TABLE but not tabulate). - Multi-page tables (TABLE and tabulate are fine with these). - Insert images in a cell (TABLE seems to handle this better than tabulate). - Have rows that will split across pages - we will have large pieces of text and images which will end up being taller than the page. (tabulates paragraph support is the right sort of thing) - Start next row on current page. - Include other tables, lists etc in a cell (this is a "nice to have" rather than a "must have") The reason I need these various things is because Word acts this way and I need to produce something similar (until we can argue for a format change). At the moment I'm leaning towards tabulate but I'm having issues with images and the headers. I'm using Mk IV (bonus question: as a newbie, should I just start with IV and ignore II? Or is II better for any particular reason?).
