It seems that any form of glue that I put into the items is ignored. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \halign to\hsize{&#\tabskip=0pt plus 1fil\cr \hskip 0pt plus 1fill hello&how&are\cr you&today\cr } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% What I want it to do is: |<- left margin hello how are youtoday what I get is: |<- left margin hello how are you today ^^^^^ My guess is that the second order hskip glue is being ignored because the first order tabskip glue is being set before the hskip glue is read. Is this right? or am I just doing something wrong? thanks -- Michael DeCorte // (315)265-2439 // P.O.
