Great !    You now have (at least) /two/ tables, which means that alignment 
wise they can, and most likely will, look quite different from each other. 
I guess you didn't think that far ?

And before you come up with the obvious "fix" for that: I hope you do 
realize that that will disable the tables own with recalculation (based on 
the contents) ?      In short, now your "rules" are dictating what the 
webpage looks like - instead of helping with what the webpage designer wants 
to have.

Rudy Wieser
