Udi,
The column headers are in the first row, and centered. Unchecking
multicolumn for the two header cells doesn't allow me to center them above
the left-aligned cells beneath them.

With the cursor in each of the header cells, there's no width, but the
alignment is Left. The top and bottom borders for the first row, and the
bottom border for the last row slightly overlap the text area.
I'll ignore the left-aligned column headers and slight overhang of the
borders because they're not critical.
Thanks,
Rich
