Graphics, Figures & Tables

Hello!

I'm starting my into LaTeX tables. I have a very wide table on account of the number of columns. I have tried the /small command and it still misses some of the table.

Is there a way to make the table be independent of margins and occupy the whole width of the page?

Since it's a comparison I can't really take off columns.

Hi Kotoko,

welcome to the board!
You could use \makebox like described here: Centering wide tables or figures.

I suggest to use the rotating package to turn the table.

Best regards and welcome to the board

Can you send us an example of that you need? Thanks.

I rotated the table in the end.

But the box trick will be very useful in the future.

Thank you for all the replies. LaTeX is a great tool but a hard one to master it's wonderfull to know I can count on the help of people besides documentation.
