i've copied the howto from my mail to the wiki...

the short version of the tutorial for the current version is:
- select the first element which is misplaced (and which should be aligned to the left margin)
- run the script

the script i wrote won't work for your case.

i will put an updated version (or a second one) in the wiki which works for a three column layout.

it will probably be online this evening...
