template for a single page essay?

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but since I'm not really trying to make my own template or package, but just wanting a recommendation, I'm hopping it's OK.

So I need to write a one-page essay about Japan (in english, I'm just mentioning the topic as it may give some ideas) and was ...

Too many columns for page width

I have a table with 22 columns, which is too much for a page in portrait setting. In fact it's a table with 22 columns and 22 rows, but the problem is with the number of columns.
I can barely fit the table in landscape with footnotesize font, and would like to find a better way.

My tables are ...

figref: undefined control sequence

I don't know what's the problem. I have other documents where I use \figref and they work fine (I'm assuming figref is a standard command).

I'm using kile (KDE latex editor) and this is the output I get:
Undefined control sequence. ...some text \figref

Re: Any way to only show the authors last name when citing?

Yes, you are right. It's the braces around each inicial.
I'm using Jabref and it was it that put those braces.

I've looked on how to remove them but didn't find anything. Where is that option?

Thank you very much.

beamer natbib bibliography not working

I don't know why this doesn't work.

I copy-pasted the bib structure from my document to this presentation but it insists on not working.


\documentclass[hyperref={pdfpagelabels=false}]{beamer}
\usepackage{default}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Any way to only show the authors last name when citing?

After lots of time testing I figured out where the problem is...

title = {Some things we wrote},
year = {2008},
journal = {J. Irrep. Res.},
volume = {111},
page = {1-2},
}

Any way to only show the authors last name when citing?

I started making my bib database with the names as accurate as possible, but now that I'm using natbib authoryear mode things get a bit cluttered sometimes... E.g. when I have two authors and it gets displayed: <John K. Smith and Linux Pinguin Machina, 2008>
Is there any way to short it to: <Smith ...
