How decrease table size?

Post by localghost »

OK, that's something to work with (although you forgot the textcomp package). So taking the time to work out a MWE was worth it.

The only solution I see is to decrease the font size to \tiny combined with a rotation of the whole table. For the latter one you can use the sidewaystable environment from the rotating package instead of the tabular environment.

Code: Select all

\begin{sidewaystable}
  % table contents (with caption)
\end{sidewaystable}
Note that this environment will start a new page and occupy it entirely without any text. Regarding the size of the table this shouldn't matter.
