Fred Thank you Fred, your explanation did help, I didn't know what that X was for, so the correct formating string should be: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@{}} \textbf{Number} \textbf{Description} \textbf{Qt'y} \textbf{Unit} \textbf{Price} \textbf{Amount} \\ %foreach number% %number% %description% %qty% %unit% %sellprice% %linetotal% \\ %end number% \end{tabularx} -- #Joseph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
