Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Color declaration causes line break in tabularx

[skip]

I'm using tabluarx and the following code:

Code: Select all

\begin{tabularx}{\columnwidth}{|X|X|}
{\bf 23 September 2009 }&{\color{DarkGray}\bf OVERALL SCORE ACHIEVED}\hfill{\bf\color{DarkGray}85\%}
\end{tabularx}

causes a line break on the right hand cell. The left and cell (23 Septmeber 2009) is correct but the contents of the right hand (OVERALL...) cell start on the next line in their cell. The culprit seems to be the first \color declaration on the OVERALL text before the hfill. If I remove it everything is rendered on the same line in both cells.

Any idea why the \color declaration is doing that?

Hi skip,

you could use \textcolor instead of \color to avoid this line break.

Thanks, that worked like a charm.

Btw. \bf is an obsolete LaTeX 2.09 command, use \bfseries or \texbf instead, see LaTeX2e font selection.
