Line through image in table

Post by cirasj »

I need help with eliminating a line through my image.

I am trying to create a table that goes cross my page to use as a header. When I do so, the line goes through my image (see attached). Is there a command in LaTeX that will place a figure ontop of text as in MS Word?

I tried using the \miderule command but I keep getting an error.

Code: Select all

\thispageheading{\begin{tabular}[t]{ p{1.75in} r  }
\multirow{2}*{\includegraphics[scale=1]{figures/JosephRCirasLogo.pdf}}  &  \bf{\sffamily xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx} \\ \hline
         &  \scriptsize {xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\;{\ding{169}}\;xxxxxxxxxxx, xx\;{\ding{169}}\;xxxxx\;{\ding{169}}\;xxxx: xxxxxxxxxxx\;{\ding{169}}\;xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx}        \\
     \end{tabular}}

Replace the \hline command by \cline{2-2}. This draws the horizontal tabular line only for the right column.

Not related to the problem, but you should use \bfseries instead of \bf (old syntax). Even better is \textbf{\textsf{...}} for short text snippets as in this case.
