[texhax] Misalignment of "tabular" entities

[Will, Paul (P.)]

Hi,

I'm using TeX to create a series of 3 tabular entries on a page but the
first table on each page is offset to the right about 16pts and I cannot see
an obvious reason for this in the tex file. The 2 following tables on the
page are perfectly aligned as expected. I'm new to TeX so it's perfectly
possible that this is a case of "user error" but having looked through
several sets of FAQs I can't see a similar problem described.

I'm using SuSE Linux 9.3 o/s and creating the TeX file from a Perl program,
I'm using XDVI to display the resulting dvi file. 

Any help would be appreciated.
