I don't know it and never did. Learned, used, and forgot _bits_ of latex a few times already. So it shouldn't be impossible to pickup before Monday. > it has no "import" routine, but vim and perl is usually all i need. I'm beginning to understand that it would be best to pickup enough latex to generate the tables I'm after. There are some excellent intro documents on latex at: http://www.tug.org/tutorials/tugindia/ So my mystery is how to align of columns based on decimal point... without lame tricks like "[r.l] ... 123 & 12" to create "123.12" (create two columns one right justified, a '.', and one left justified) _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
