Hello,
I'm not sure if I understood you correctly, but what you want to do
seems to me to structurally be a table, so you should also tex it that way:
\begin{tabular}{@{}l@{\hspace{5cm}}p{2cm}@{}l@{}}
Title1&&WORD 1\\
&&text in a minipage environment\\
&\multicolumn{2}{l@{}}{that spans exactly}\\
&\multicolumn{2}{l@{}}{three rows}\\
\end{tabular}
Bye

Hello *,
I'm quite new here, I've been using LaTeX and XeTeX for a while but I'm
no expert. I use texlive 2011 for linux/i386. I'm trying to obtain
horizontal alignment of some words. Let's make an example (look at the
following with a monospaced font):
TITLE1 WORD1
text in a minipage environment
that spans exactly
three rows
TITLE2 WORD2
text in a minipage environment
that spans exactly
three rows
WORD3
text in a minipage environment
that spans exactly
three rows
and so on...
Please note that the xetex code is being automatically generated and for
this reason I need three distinct commands, one for the titles, one for
the horizontally aligned words and one for the horizontally aligned
minipages. In the xetex source below the three commands are:
\sessoentry, \classeentry and \dogentrytrerighe (sorry for the mixup of
italian and english word in the command names, but those are legacy
names). In those commands I'm using \makebox[0pt] to make WORD1 and
WORD2 alignment independent of the TITLEs on the left, but that does not
seem to completely work: WORD1 and WORD2 are a few millimeters off their
expected position.
I've tried \tabto, but it strangely makes the minipage slide up a bit
and overlap WORDx.
Any suggestion welcome, thanks in advance.
