It is too bad there is no way to make it more compact so more rows can fit on a screen or page. The ideal, to delimit the header without appearing busy, would be to just have a thin horizontal rule separating the header from the remaining rows[1]. Vertical rules are almost never a good idea. Maybe frame=3D"topbot",grid=3D"none",options=3D"header" would be a good approximation. Jonathan [1] Just my opinion. I probably learned the aesthetic from Simon Fear. http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=3Ddestable
