Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ one-page table

[coandrei]

Hi there,

I have the following table in my document and I would like the text to be continuous no matter where the table is inserted. Currently, the page before the table contains only 4 lines of text. I hope you understood what I meant.
Or is it another better way to solve this?
Thank you!

There already exist solutions which can be found by using the search function of the forum. Show the alleged misbehaviour by means of a minimal working example (MWE). Create longer parts of text with the blindtext package.

There was nothing wrong with my solution but the table was on a separate file. When I inserted the code instead using

\include{tab:mytable}

(as it was before) everything went as expected. Thus, I think that include command was breaking the text. Somehow, this feature might be turned off. However, I could not find an answer for now.

If you want to keep the code shifted to an external file, you have to use the \input command instead.
