look into the tabsatz and boktabs manual and you see all columns in them have the same distance, it was only meant as a alternative to your hard coded columndistance in the examples. If you can do this with another method like the tabskip there nothing against them. Wolfgang > AFAIU, the table macros divide that the specified tabskip by 2, and > place it in the data column.
