Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Alignment for Table Notes

[lynnlee]

Hello LaTeX Community,

I use {tabular} to arrange tables.

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[t]
table 1: ...
\begin{tabular}{l c c c}
...
\end{tabular}
\\ Notes: ... \\
\end{table}

The problem is that the contents of notes always are not aligned with table, it is usually longer than width of table. How to adjust contents of notes to make it to be aligned with width of table?

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Hi Lynn,

you could use the threeparttable package. For example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{threeparttable}
\begin{document}
\begin{threeparttable}[hb]
  \caption{Example table}
  \begin{tabular}{l c c c}
    One & Two & Three & Four
  \end{tabular}
  \begin{tablenotes}
    \item [1] Here is the first Note, the width
              is equal to the body of the table
  \end{tablenotes}
\end{threeparttable}
\end{document}
