People,

I am trying to use the powerful org-table features of org-mode to solve a
simple problem
I have imported a table from excel in both cvs and tab-delimited formats
and converted the region to table

the table looks like this:
##################################################################################
| Entry | Entry name | Protein names | Gene names | Length
|

| Q01284 | 2NPD_NEUCR | Nitronate monooxygenase (EC 1.13.12.16)
(2-nitropropane dioxygenase) (2-NPD) (Nitroalkane oxidase) | ncd-2
G17A4.200 NCU03949 | 378 |
| P05195 | 3DHQ_NEUCR | Catabolic 3-dehydroquinase (cDHQase) (EC 4.2.1.10)
(3-dehydroquinate dehydratase) | qa-2 NCU06023 | 173
|
| Q7SDX3 | 3HAO_NEUCR | 3-hydroxyanthranilate 3,4-dioxygenase (EC
1.13.11.6) (3-hydroxyanthranilate oxygenase) (3-HAO) (3-hydroxyanthranilic
acid dioxygenase) (HAD) (Biosynthesis of nicotinic acid
protein 1) | bna-1 NCU03282 | 180
|

| P07046 | 3SHD_NEUCR | 3-dehydroshikimate dehydratase (DHS dehydratase)
(DHSase) (EC 4.2.1.-) | qa-4 NCU06024 | 359
|

##################################################################################
but as soon as I try to align the columns, then org-table introduces a
myriad of spaces where there were previously none
Why is this happening?
What am I doing wrong?

I want to use org-mode for Bioinformatics and teach students to use it as a
tool, but I cannot do it unless things work seamless on my hands

Any help will be much appreciated
