Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ tabularx | Unwanted additonal Padding in Column

[isharp2]

Hi,
I would like all text in tabularx columns to be located at the same y-position on the page.
I find that using tabular X causes the second column to be padded, while the first column is not padded.

Working example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularx}

\begin{document}

\section{Appendix}
APPENDIX TIME.

\begin{table}[ht!]
\caption{Appendix} 
\label{Appendix}
\centering 
\begin{tabularx}{6.5in}{ |   p{1.25in} |  X |  }
\hline 
\textbf{a} & \textbf{b} \\ 

\hline 
\label{c}
c & d \\ 

\hline 
\end{tabularx} 
\end{table}
\cleardoublepage 
\newpage 

\end{document}

many thanks,

[isharp2]

Hi,
so it turns out that using:

Code: Select all

\label

adds a return character in the cell of your table. So to fix it, put your label at the end of the last column

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularx}

\begin{document}

\section{Appendix}
APPENDIX TIME.

\begin{table}[ht!]
\caption{Appendix} 
\label{Appendix}
\centering 
\begin{tabularx}{6.5in}{ |   p{1.25in} |  X |  }
\hline 
\textbf{a} & \textbf{b} \\ 

\hline 
c & d \label{c} \\ 

\hline 
\end{tabularx} 
\end{table}
\cleardoublepage 
\newpage 

\end{document}
