I tried the above, but it looks just like as with '|c|' for the 'image
column' of the table. 

All my images are (or will be scaled to) the same size.

Did you test the code below? I would like to know if you see the white
space or not on your system.

Also I find that using \parbox{} does change the output (i.e. it is not
the same as using the p{...} column type).

I found I can get reasonable results by puting the contents of *every*
cell in a \parbox{...}, but that isn't a clean solution for two reasons

1) If you want to adjust the column width you have to adjut the parbox
width for every cell in that column,

2) the parbox removes the cell border, so all my text is right up against
the lines of the table.

Any help with either two problems of this workaround (or a better
solution) would be really great!


Thanks very much for any further info regarding the example below, 

Dan.

Oh, here is my output if versions might be an issue...
