En stor tak, Erik,

Your help is proving invaluable and producing fair results.

I guess this way around is only for short texts, as it only seems to work if a fair guess is made as to how many rows may be needed when setting the table; furthermore, I find that a few adjustments are needed on either column in some cases.

Din hjælp skatter jeg særligt.
