i have a list that is one hundred rows long but each column has only 8 or 10 elements in it.

i want to collapse the list to the length of the longest column of entries so it will end up being about 10 rows and bringing all the entries into those 10 rows. they do not have to keep relative alignment re rows, only columns.

i can think of some clumsy ways to do this but i'm looking for a clever quick way.

attached a sample. no i didn't. when i click on manage attachments this opens another window with nothing in it. don't know if the forum doesn't like my version of
firefox or what.

is there a way to paste a table into a post. it is relatively simple material without formulas.

thanx.
