We're just beginning to convert from troff to LaTeX here, and our first
document included a table using the parbox form of entry with a
description like {p{1.7in}p{1.7in}p{1.7in}}. This gives wild justification
and erratic vertical spacing between entries (got with \\[0.08in]). It seems
that if the last column is shorter than the first two, no extra spacing
appears. Examples of its justification are:
Main production bottle-
necks caused by lack of
(!) pro-
cessing power and queues
for laserprinter (serious at
busy periods)
and
(!) Commands em-
bedded in text; processing
and printing needed to see
results
Any ideas, we thought TeX was particularly good at this sort of thing !

Try using some of TeX's low-level commands to "loosen things up" so it won't be so fussy. You could also try it with a ragged-right margin (within the table) instead having it filled. -------------------------------------- rusty c. wright rusty@weyl.berkeley.edu ucbvax!weyl!rusty
