General ⇒ Controlling the vertical align of contents in table cell?

[benowar]

Hi,

is there any way to vertically align the contents of a table cell? I have a table with 2 columns. The content in the second column is big enough to cause line wrapping. Now, the content of the first column is just a single word and it gets centered vertically. What I would like is the content of the first column to align on top of the cell and not the center.

The code I use for the table is:

\begin{tabular}{ m{.25\textwidth}@{\extracolsep{5mm}} m{.60\textwidth} }

Thanks,
Ben

It would be good to have a minimum working example (MWE) to figure out what's going wrong.

Just use p{0.25\textwidth} instead of m{0.25\textwidth} (cf doc for the array package).

Awesome, using "p" did the trick!

Thanks,
