Hi,

I have a table in my latex document and a file with is filled from an external program with the data to be included in the table. The file is already formatted correctly (ie. contains the & as column seperation and the \\ as row seperation).

Latex returns an error if i try something like ...

I read the documentation, the problem is that it shouldn't ruin all the margins at first place. Ofcourse you can mannually correct the margins, but that would mean that whenever you change the paper size etc. you have to recorrect them. While the natural/default margins are just fine to me. Also the ...

Hi,

Hi,

Thanks! It works. The only downside is that apparently it also removes the bottom spacing (see attachement). I played with the settings topsep, partopsep etc. but didn't work out. I don't see any difference between topsep en partopsep.

I also found on the internet the package called paralist ...

Hi frabjous,

Thanks for the suggestion. The enumitem package is helpfull, but still does not bring the effect I would like to achieve. As localghost suggests here is my initial code adjusted with the suggestions posted here, producing still the incorrect result.

Hi,

Table A
Description of the table
<The Table>
