Hello,
Well, The problem gets fixed by :
.nr wi (\n(.l-\n(.i)/5-(5m-1m)+1
This indents the column properly.
- the example which you gave me below: works fine but I am using T{ and T}
for each column entry and hence that disturbs the table formatting again.
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards,
Divya
