Table Column Overlap

My Friends,
I have a table with 4 columns, A B C D

Everything prints without an issue with the exception of the following
situation:

	Column A is the date
	Column B is right justified (a description)
	Column C  is an amount (right justified)
	Column D is an amount (right justified)
In some cases, column B is too big to fit in the column and it is
wrapping.  When this occurs, Column A will always be blank and  I want
column B to overflow into Column A and maintain the integrity of
remaining right justified in column B without wrapping.

Any ideas or hints on techniques to try?

Eric,
The use of "span" solved my problem.  
 
Thanks for the hint.

		In other words, if Column A has no data, you want Column
B's data to *span* the first two columns. Is that enough of a hint?
