Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ multirow | Text wrap in Tables

[looreenzoo]

Hi all,

I searched on the internet, but I could not find the way to wrap text in tables with columns spanning more than one row. Here is a MWE and thank you in advance!

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{multirow}

\begin{document}
	\begin{tabular}{cccc}
	\toprule
	& & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Logic of rule adoption} \\
	\cmidrule{3-4}
		& & Logic of consequences & Logic of appropriateness \\
	\midrule
	\multirow{2}{*}{Principal actor in rule adoption process} & EU-driven & External incentives model & Social learning model \\
		& CEE-driven & Lesson-drawing model & Lesson-drawing model \\
	\bottomrule
	\end{tabular}
\end{document}

You can always try a \parbox of a certain width.

Sorry for the late reply. If I put the text in a \parbox wide for instance 75 pt, it goes below the table.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{multirow}

\begin{document}
   \begin{tabular}{cccc}
   \toprule
   & & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Logic of rule adoption} \\
   \cmidrule{3-4}
      & & Logic of consequences & Logic of appropriateness \\
   \midrule
   \multirow{2}{*}{\parbox{75 pt}{Principal actor in rule adoption process}} & EU-driven & External incentives model & Social learning model \\
      & CEE-driven & Lesson-drawing model & Lesson-drawing model \\
   \bottomrule
   \end{tabular}
\end{document}

You got an answer there which you accepted. Do you want others here to continue searching for a solution? That's one reason why why I hate crosspostings.
