Is there a way to force colums to be narrower than the default in the Table (basic) table environment? The first line of my column is: Amount spent on store modernization by the chains The columns underneath are all single numbers, meaning they have huges spaces to the right: year Amount spent on store modernization by the chains === ================================================= 1933 33,000,000 1934 37,000,000 Do I have to use the more sophisticated TABLE module?

This works, but it had the unintended consequence of making a footnote in the same column the same width. The footnote on the bottom of the table looks like: 1 There was a recession in 1938 which damp ened sp ending on modernizing. Though, the 1938 figure was still above the spending of 1936.
