I have some data I've typed into a free form text file with columns aligned
by not with tabs. Here is a little piece:
501A 1986-04-12 tog
B?
311 (II) D 1986-04-12 tog

514 1986-04-15 tog
AA

I would like to import this data into an org-mode table, to facilitate
manipulation of the columsn. I can do it without org-mode, but I anticipate
this will be useful to both organize and print this data in useful ways.
I see there is a way to mark a column's maximum size. Can I specify its
EXACT size?
Thank you,
Alan Davis
