Since in the actual model you can choose both options I decide to follow then instead of complaining. Sometimes it makes sense to have the same row as both header and footer, that was my reasoning. I export that row twice, one for the header and one for the footer.

Actually the general tabular is a long table, a normal tabular is a subset of it.

BTW, thanks for the tabular code, it is a piece of cake to work with now, I remember the headaches I had before when I knew that I had to see the tabular code. ;-) > Jug > > -- > -._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._ > Dr. Jürgen Vigna E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Italienallee 13/N Tel/Fax: +39-0471-450260 / +39-0471-450253 > I-39100 Bozen Web: http://www.sad.it/~jug > -._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._ > > The goal of science is to build better mousetraps.
