Hi. I'm a total LaTeX n00b. How do I adjust my table code so that text in the second column is centered both vertically and horizontally? I know this question has been asked before, but it seems like in all the previous posts I've found that the asker is trying to accomplish something much more complex (e.g., mix images and formulae and what not...)
One post I found helped me to get this far:
Code: Select all
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{| p{5cm} | >{\centering\arraybackslash}m{3cm} |}
\hline
Purchasing and Shipping Time & 1 month \\ \hline
Learning the NXT Interface\newline
and writing robot-side code & 1-2 months \\ \hline
Writing server-side code to\newline
integrate the new equipment\newline
into our web interface & 2-3 months \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
That is with "\usepackage{array}" at the beginning. But the text of the second column is only centered horizontally, not vertically. I'm not sure how to tweak this because I don't really understand what all the ">{\centering\arraybackslash}m{3cm}" nonsense is all about. (Any illustrative explanations would be well received!)
