Steve,

I'd suggest that you format the output using the TableForm command in
the first instance.  Then select the cell containing the output table,
open the Option Inspector (on the Format menu), then Formatting Options,
then Table/Matrix/Palette Formatting, and start fiddling around.

You can make the same formatting selections by setting options for
TableForm, but the Option Inspector is a lot easier.

Good luck
Mark Westwood
