I want to create a document that allows to write into the names of new members joining our club. As these entries are numbered, I figured I made a command generating a command ("entry" in my example) that generates these twopage columns.
To match the size of the page, I used p{0.[13]5\textwidth} in a tabular environment, but the sizes dont match. Even though the widths add up, the table does not match the size of the page, but is smaller.
I'm aware of this question(Tabular with p type columns to fill page width), but the solution did not help me, as it made the table even smaller.
Additionally, the ratios don't match the desired values at all.
I inserted my file below:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\setlength{\parindent}{0cm}
\newcommand{\points}[1]{#1\dots}
\newcommand{\lmulcol}[2]{\multicolumn{#1}{|l|}{\points{#2}}}
\newcommand{\colfour}[1]{\lmulcol{4}{#1}}
\newcommand{\colthree}[1]{\lmulcol{3}{#1}}
\newcommand{\coltwo}[1]{\lmulcol{2}{#1}}
\newcommand{\colone}[1]{\points{#1}}
\newcommand{\entry}[1]{
\textbf{\Large{#1}}
\vspace{3em}
\begin{tabular}{|p{0.15\textwidth}|
p{0.35\textwidth}|
p{0.35\textwidth}|
p{0.15\textwidth}|}
%\begin{tabular}{|p{\dimexpr 0.15\linewidth-2\tabcolsep}|
% p{\dimexpr 0.35\linewidth-2\tabcolsep}|
% p{\dimexpr 0.35\linewidth-2\tabcolsep}|
% p{\dimexpr 0.15\linewidth-2\tabcolsep}|}
\colfour{Name:}\\
\colfour{Forename:}\\
\coltwo{Date of Birth:} & \coltwo{Place of Birth:}\\
\colone{Adress:} & \colthree{} \\
& \colthree{}\\
\hline
\colone{Reference1:} & \coltwo{} & \colone{Page}\\
\colone{References:} & \coltwo{1} & \colone{Page}\\
& \coltwo{2} & \colone{Page}\\
& \coltwo{3} & \colone{Page}\\
& \coltwo{4} & \colone{Page}\\
\end{tabular}
}
\begin{document}
\entry{601}
TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT

\end{document}
The block of TEXT is to show that textwidth is actually larger.
I also added the table as I get it:
