another table question or automatic text in a heading row

A \t adds a tab stop which isn't going to do anything unless you also
set up a tab stop in the para tag.

See if it'll take a \r to force a return after the first word. That
should work, but it doesn't take on my system.

However, em spaces do work. Try putting a \sm or two between your
words to force a break.
