Hi Tadziu, Thank you for the information on spacing. I noticed that my own example appeared a bit odd, but now I know how and where to tweak the code.
You all helped me solve the two very last typesetting issues I had with my current material. Thank you again! Oliver. On 26/11/2020 13:56, Tadziu Hoffmann wrote:

One way to achieve what you want is to pass this on to the general troff machinery, which happens in paragraph mode of tbl: .TS allbox tab(@); c c c. Foo@T{ \h'1c' .sp -1 .PSPIC -L image.ps 1c T}@bar .TE Note that PSPIC is intended to include graphics between lines of text, so it will leave some vertical space above and below, and it also does not have any intrinsic width, so you must put in some dummy material that has the desired extent (in the example, horizontal motion) However, PSPIC is built around the "ps: import" device escape, which you can use directly. This also has no concept of width and height with regard to troff's text formatting (and will happily overwrite anything on the page), so you need to supply some dummy material for tbl to leave appropriate space. But it has the advantage that you can tweak the vertical positioning simply by lying about the bounding box, like in the attached example.
