Thank you very much, Kevin, for this extensive explanation. I will try
this as soon as possible.

These are probably because it's one big "tabular" environment. "tabular"
isn't
very smart, and IIRC it can't handle page breaks. Try "supertabular"
instead:
\usepackage{supertabular}
and then use "supertabular" instead of "tabular". It's included in
Fedora's
tetex-latex package.

- Why does the left border goes to high
You can use the \advance command to fiddle with margins, for example
like this:
\advance\textheight5.5cm
\advance\topmargin-3.5cm
\advance\textwidth5cm
\advance\evensidemargin-2.5cm
\advance\oddsidemargin-2.5cm
Another issue you might encounter one day is TeX refusing to stretch the
spaces
enough to justify long lines. Instead, it will complain about "underfull
hbox"es and wants you to change your content (for example make \tt
blocks,
which are unbreakable, shorter). Of course, I don't want to change my
content
just to please the layout engine, so I use this instead:
\global\emergencystretch = 0.9\hsize
This allows TeX to use up to 90% of the line for spacing. You can put
whatever
other value there, just \hsize will turn the limit off completely. This
trick
also works in other TeX-based formats, such as texinfo.
