I wrote a table in org-mode and a certain column in that table should have 
all content entries starting in character position 32.  I ran cut on the 
table and sent output to another file in order to inspect my work and 
found at least one line of the table for that column had content starting 
in column 28.  I opened the file again in org-mode and located the row and 
column and checked the content start position and that showed as being in 
column 32.  So this brings up two questions.
1) When I saved that org file after checking it and found content output 
starting in column 32 rather than in character position 28, did org-mode 
clean up the table for me?
2) If org-mode did not clean up the table, does a command exist I can use 
to cause such a clean up to happen?
