Thanks.
Also can anyone point me to a webpage or document (maybe already on my
system included with teTeX install) that documents the "tabular" features.
Googling for it doesn't give me a lot. Or can't find correct search terms.
For example, I want to know what ">" greater-than is for in the tabular.
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|>{\centering}p{2in}|}
And what {\centering} is for.
I know what | and c and p (for paragraph) are for.
A couple please have pointed to some LaTeX docs lately -- I need to look
at them.
