LaTeX forum ⇒ Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Configuring a Table and Section Header

[sonofaselkie]

Hello!

I found this post: https://latex.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34299, which detailed combining a section header and a sideways table on the same page. It has somewhat worked for me, but there are two issues I cannot figure out.
First, there is a gap between the 'edge' of my table (top when viewed vertically) and the section header. Second is that my table seems to ignore the right margin, and as such extends so far 'down' that it cuts off the bottom of my caption.
I've attached my latex code here:

Ideally, I would like the table to run right up to the results header and abide by the margins set forth on the page. Additionally, the toprule, midrule, and bottomrule all stop partway through the table for some reason.

Best,

Ronan

So it seems like setting this up is far more complicated then I imagined. Thanks for the reply!

Please try to offer a complete minimal working example.

Apparently the \linewidth length has to be replaced by the \textheight command because of the tabular* environment.
