Text Formatting ⇒ color package conflicts with tabular environment?

[luoyi]

the code is:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[usenames]{color}
\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{@{}p{10em}@{}p{10em}@{}}%
    aaa &bbb\\
    {\color{red} aaa} &bbb
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

it'll give me the result as the attachment, the red letters "abc" is obviously below than the normal "bbb". does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

You are using the wrong command.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[usenames]{xcolor}

\begin{document}
  \begin{tabular}{@{}p{10em}@{}p{10em}@{}}%
    aaa & bbb \\
    \textcolor{red}{aaa} & bbb
  \end{tabular}
\end{document}

And it's better to use the xcolor package.
