Dear all, I'm trying to typeset a rather simple list or table where each line should keep the overall grid of my page design. For this I tried "tabulate", "table", and "TABLE", but all failed. What I need is the following: 4 columns, each with a fixed width. One of the columns may contain a paragraph (i.e. more than one line), like: Axxx yyyy first entry with zzz more text Bxxx yyyy next entry zzz The line starting with "B" does not keep the grid -- at least in most cases; I couldn't trace down when and why this fails. (The specific environment is not important (whether tabulate, table, TABLE, or some other solution), as all entries are supplied by a macro which I could adapt easily).
