I see in the code that \useexternalfigure has got a parameter #4 not mentioned in the manual. Being unable to find its meaning in the comments, will someone tell me what it is used for? Hans van der Meer

helo: I have a long paragraph in a cell in the fisrt column of a table. I need the paragraph uses 2 or 3 lines and the column get narrower, because the table is too wide. Can I force the column width and -at the same time- force the paragraph to use 2 o 3 lines? I use \crlf but it seems that doesŽn work inside a table.
