Duncan,

Thanks a lot! it sorted out the problem. I was too worried about learning
how to use sweave that forgot to try other things :-)

Teysseyre, I saw this doc but my table was large in width like almost not
fitting the paper size..

Its better now but I wonder how to make better tables using xtable like for
example how to use a similar thing to \multirow..does anyone maybe have had
to do that before?

Thanks!
regards,
Welma.
