It seems linetable would do just what I need (at least I get rid of the strut / unwanted vertical spacing problem, so I do get a grid-keeping table), but: Is there a way to use linetable in two-column mode? (i.e. the consecutive lines of my table should be set just like normal text would in two-column mode). Currently linetable just streches over the whole textwidth, as it adds white space between columns. Johannes %%%%%%%%%% In my previous example below, using \setuplinetable[n=4] \setuplinetable[c][1] [width=6mm] \setuplinetable[c][2] [width=5mm] \setuplinetable[c][3] [width=51mm] \setuplinetable[c][4] [width=1mm] and then startlinetable / stoplinetable instead of start/stoptabulate works fine for the vertical spacing problem.
