I ve now reworked the tables along the lines but with one modification I ve forced the first column into being 30em wide rather than auto With the JLM filmography list I was advised to try and keep the same columns the same size on the various tables With forcing them film programme production to all have the same width the uniformity is achieved without any issues I could see on the two systems I am using Please ket me know if this is an issue on yours and if it s OK I ll replicate the sizes onto the JLM article too Many thanks
