You can switch to this size inside a table environment.

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[!ht]
  \caption{A table in footnote size}\label{tab:fns}
  \centering
  \footnotesize
  \begin{tabular}{ccc}
    % table contents
  \end{tabular}
\end{table}
It is not recommendable to typeset several lines of a table in a different size.


Best regards

Thank you very much for reply!!

My question is whether can I footnotesize several lines (1-4)within a tableau.
Following is my code. But it did not work
\begin{table}[!htp]
\centering
{\small\begin{tabular*}{1\textwidth}{lcp{1.9in}} \hline \hline
\Conditions & do this & do that \\ \hline
{\footnotesize
1. $w\ge a, d\ge c, a\ge c, $ & do this & $ do that\\
2. $w\ge a, d\ge c, a\ge c, $ & do this & $ do that\\
3. $w\ge a, d\ge c, a\ge c, $ & do this & $ do that\\
4. $w\ge a, d\ge c, a\ge c, $ & do this & $ do that}
\end{tabular*}}
\end{table}
:(
