Hallo, I have two problems/questions with the following tables: 1. Should'nt all the columns be .2\textwidth, as in the last table? 2. Why expands column width to \textwidth in the second table? Has to do with \type{} and/or color! 3. Why behaves table 1 (with \type{}) as table 3 (whitout \type{})?
