Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ about dcolumn

[clement]

hi:

I meet a problem about using dcolumn package.
I hope to create a table and its format like following:

------------------------------------------------
R G
--------------------------------------------------
kk c d e f g
--------------------------------------------------
first 1 2 3 4 5
....
---------------------------------------------------
second 5 7
....
....
---------------------------------------------------

the number of columns are different for row first and second.
row first has six and row second has three.
when I use the following commands:

Code: Select all

....
\newcolumntype{d}[1]{D{.}{\cdot}{#1}}
\newcolumntype{.}{D{.}{.}{-1}}
....
\begin{tabular}
[c]{.....}
...
\end{tabular}
...

the row second will not be align and the length of row first
will exceed the page. how to solve the problem, any suggestion
is highly appreciated, thanks a lot

as following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,letter]{article}
\usepackage{dcolumn}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\newcolumntype{d}[1]{D{.}{\cdot}{#1}}
\newcolumntype{.}{D{.}{.}{-1}}

\begin{document}
\begin{table}
\caption{test1}
\begin{tabular}{l........}
\toprule & \multicolumn{2}{c}{A} &  & \multicolumn{2}{c}{B} &  &
\multicolumn{2}{c}{C}\\
