- Put in the preamble: \usepackage{array}

- Then replace:

	\begin{tabular}{*{4}{p{3cm}}}

by:

	\begin{tabular}{p{3cm}*{3}{>{\raggedright}p{3cm}}}

Replace:

	\begin{tabular}{*{4}{p{3cm}}}

by:

	\begin{tabular}{p{2cm}*{3}{p{3cm}}}

Such questions are answered in standard LaTeX manuals, especially the 
LaTeX Companion for the first question and LaTeX: A Document 
Preparation System for the second. They are not OS-X-specific.
