Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Table exceeds the Width of the Page

[NELLLY]

Hello,

I have to insert a wide table. I used the following commands but the last column exceeds the width of the page. What can I do?

Thanks

Hi,

when a table is too wide it sticks into a margin. Your table is very wide, so my first suggestion would have been to rotate it using pdflscape. But since your textblock (made visible by showframe) is, well, let's be honest, a bit strange it won't fit, too.

Even lowering the spacing between the columns would be of any help. So my suggestion is to split the table somehow.
Maybe another forum member with more expertise has a better idea.

You could also try the sidewaystable environment from rotating. Note that this specific environment will automatically occupy a complete page.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{
  text={6in,8.9in},
  headsep=.4in,
  footnotesep=.2in
}
\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup{
  format=hang,
  width=17cm,
  aboveskip=4pt,
  belowskip=12pt
}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{array,booktabs,multirow}
\usepackage{mathtools}  % loads »amsmath«
\usepackage{rotating}

\setlength{\parindent}{0.5cm}

\begin{document}
  \begin{sidewaystable}

    \begin{tabular}{

Remarks:

• You are loading packages twice.
• You are doing settings twice.
• Use geometry to set up page and paper dimensions (see code above).
• Use setspace to get 1.5 line spacing.

Urgent recommendations:

• Clean up your code for more clarity.
• Read what people write to you. Some advices are not given to you for the first time.
• Learn to use the Forum Search.
• Read l2tabu!
