 Hmm.. this gives great results when I have 3 etiquettes on the last row,
but if I have 2, the last one goes to the right, and is a bit wider than
others. I don't understand very much the logic on identing to the Right,
and then all the block to the Left.. 
  I also thought on using the @Etiqe (word?) object as an element for a
cell of a bigger table, a table of 3*15=15 cells (labels). Maybe that
should distribute the labels better alligned..

 I've tried it, and yes, it seems to work, but I only cannot use @HSfit
and @VShift in the definition of the object..
