> HTH,

Hi Bastien,
Really appreciate your help here. The reason I asked this question is
because I always feel it's too complicated to edit a table with
table.el. Your suggestion is good for me. :) But there are sometimes
also need to draw a table as below:
|-------+-------+----------------|
| =A0 =A0 =A0 | HEAD2 | Item 1 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 |
| =A0 =A0 =A0 +-------+----------------|
| HEAD1 | =A0 =A0 =A0 | Item 2 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 |
| =A0 =A0 =A0 + HEAD3 |----------------|
| =A0 =A0 =A0 | =A0 =A0 =A0 | Item 3 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 |
|-------+-------+----------------|

For such a kind of situation, we only can implement with table.el,
right?

Really thanks for all your kind help. :)
