Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Table with 56 columns

Hi Muthu,

you can use the >{declaration} construct in the format declaration of the table. The documentation of the array package describes its use. Take a look at the following example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\begin{longtable}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{1in}>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{1in}%
  >{\raggedleft\arraybackslash}p{1in}}
  \caption{a test table}\\
  \lipsum[1] & \lipsum[1] & \lipsum[1] 
\end{longtable}

\end{document}

Hello gmedina,

Thank you very much..

I am able to correctly get what i want with your coding..

can you help me, how if i can align the table header only in some of my tables..

Sorry.. i am putting more questions on you, coz i am a new user of latex.

I want to centeralize only the table heading(i.e. the first row of the table alone)

Please feed me your suggestions.

Regards,
Muthu.

Hello gmedina,

Thank you very much..

Hi Muthu. You are welcome.

...I want to centeralize only the table heading(i.e. the first row of the table alone)...

In that case, you could use the \multicolumn command, as the following example suggests:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\begin{longtable}{p{2in}|>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{2in}}
  \caption{a table with centered headers}\\
  \multicolumn{1}{c|}{Header1} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Header2}\\
  \lipsum[1] & \lipsum[1]
\end{longtable}

\end{document}
