Hi Karl,

Thanks very much for taking the time to put this up. The issue I see
with this, is you set the column width to 33% (100/number of columns).
In my tables I have 10-15 columns and I do not want them to be the
same size - I need them to auto size based on the data. I played
around with your code and when I added more columns, some with very
short data (e.g. 4 characters), the headers and data got misaligned. I
have 10 tables and they are all different and I don't want to have to
have a style for each of my 125 cells. I'd like it to work as it does
now (where I don't set any widths) and the table just works as I want.

Thanks again.
