Re: table print error

Well, I'd pretty much decided to work around it, since even an expert like
yourself couldn't figure it out. If I put a return at the end of the last
line that prints completely and then a couple of more returns to move the
rest of the text to the next page, the text prints properly, although the
last line on the page isn't right justified (I'm using full justification).
That's another option that I tried. I'll try yours, too, and see which looks
better. Thanks anyway for your help.
