Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Table spacing

[rajini]

Hello all,
using some dirty tricks, i managed to make a longtable.
But still i want to make a vertical space between the footnote and the table. My table ends with two \hline commands.. Now i want to leave around 4 mm space between the footnote and two \hline. If you compile the code below there wont be any space. How to do it.?
And what is the default font size for footnotes?
'X' contains text of 7 lines (\parbox{8.5cm})

Code: Select all

\begin{longtable}{lccccl}

Hi,

I would suggest you to use the threeparttablex package:

Hi gmedina, thanks
At present i cant use that package. seems that package is not installed..But will do it in 2 days and let you know.

hello friend,
thanks, now it is perfect. I should also use environ + threeparttable package.
Since i cannot install (i don't have admin-powder), so from internet, i downloaded and copied all .sty files to the directory where i have all my .tex files.
one final help:
1. we know that longtable is not float so the text above and below the table wont match, i mean that the text above the table wont reach the right-end and the text after the table starts as a new paragraph. I can use \noparindent for the text that comes after table. But any way to control the text so it can make a proper right end?
thanks.

Hi rajini,

I dont fully understand you question. Can you please try to describe your problem in more detail? Using the following simplified version I can't understand your problem:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{longtable}
\begin{document}

text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text

Hello Gmedina,

I place the longtable somewhere in a paragraph. After compiling, the text that comes after the table starts as a new paragraph (i mean the line intended a bit). But one can solve this problem using parindent commmand.
And the text that comes before the table wont end properly. i.e., the line wont end at the right end of the line exactly.
Anyway i solved the problem...i thought of using \hfill. but good idea is to place the longtable in between paragraphs than inside a paragraph.
thanks
