	Aparently nothing since now it is working (i added more rows and
everything is fine).

	But now I have another question. How do i define the sizeof the
columns. I don't want tex deciding that, i wan't all of the documents
with the exact same format.

	I tryed \hspace before A, B, etc but that didn't work because A and B
would show up aligned to the right even if i sayd i wanted them to the
left, so i tried the other way arround but without results.

	Please I promise I won't do anymore questions.

	Thanks
