\= does not work in tables (I think that the TABLE macros define \=

I actually already did that for the tables;-) In any case is this behavior 
of TABLES a necessary feature or a bug? In cases of extensive 
transliteration (like my journal) using \*macron etc consistently 
throughout when editing will be a real pain (it's already a pain enforcing 
consistent transliteration between authors)...

But thnx as always:-)
