There is a lot of table related packages, I'm not sure we > want to support them all. I wasn't aware about the tabu package and its tabu and longtabu environments. I'll try to use it and see if I can get what I want. One nice thing about ltablex is that you don't need to use different environments for short or long tables: you still use the well known tabularx environment in any case. For now, please ignore my patch unless I come up with issues using the tabu package. Thanks a lot for your answer. Regards, Francesco
