Bastien: I agree with you, every time I get emails from other users, they are "jagged" and "unclear"--and; like you typed they are unreadable/unclear (the columns aren't "covered down")---maybe its the font that I use?

I'll research the different fonts--I think "Courier" font may keep things clearer.

Here is a test:

#+TBLFM: 

---yes, "courier" font is what I used to use--it aligns tables better.

I'll use "courier" font; and, I suggest others use it--when dealing with/expressing table problems to others--many fonts don't "cover down" columns.

Thanks again Bastien.

Please use plain text emails...  those emails are completely unreadable
for me.  Especially crucial when talking about tables and formats.

Thanks!
