Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Table Caption-width setting

[moodamultani]

Hello Forum friends,

I am trying to use \caption command in the usual table environment as follows:

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[h]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|p{8cm}p{7cm}|}
\hline
Coulmn 1 & Column 2 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{Caption 1}
\label{tab:One}
\end{table}

The output is centered in the page but is in preset width (hence column-like) format, as under:

Table I.
Caption
1

I expect this caption to be displayed in horizontal row!
Any ideas to correct this?

Many thanks

Hi moodamultani,

Welcome to the board!

Can you make your code snippet into a minimal working example so we can reproduce the problem and suggest suiting solutions?
