Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Table format

[bezza]

Dear all,
Many thanks in advance for reading this. I'm having some problems with the formatting of a table. The code below produces the cited reference one line below all other definitions. However, when the reference is "None" it remains on the same line.

Any ideas why this would happen? Tried a few things that I had thought of but no luck.

Cheers,

Bez

\begin{table}[!h]
\caption{General parameters and values}
\vskip 0.1cm
\centering 
\begin{tabular}{p{1.8cm} p{6.1cm} p{2.6cm} p{3.2cm}}
\hline
Parameter & Definition (units) & Parameter & Reference \\ [0.5ex]
\hline 
$N$ & Number & 25 & \cite{ref12006} \\ 
$\beta$ & Infection rate & $1.67 \times 10^{-3}$ & None \\
$\gamma$ & Recovery rate (day$^{-1}$) & $\frac{1}{26}$ & \cite{ref2008effects}, \cite{ref2003longitudinal}  \\ [1ex]
\hline
\end{tabular}
\label{parameters} 
\end{table}

Hi Bezza,

we don't have your .bib file for testing.

So I just can guess that your last column is not wide enough for the cited references to fit in. Try wo make it wider to check that. If the reference cannot be hyphenated, inserting \hspace{0pt} can help, just because TeX doesn't hyphenate the first word in a paragraph (box).
