Table borders too long

Post by Monmon »

Hi,
I am adding tables in formal style in my dissertation but the borders cover the whole lenght of tha page and don't fit the contents. Simply, they are too long.
How can I either make the columns larger and centered or reduce the length of the borders? Like this it looks really bad.

Thanks

Yikes. That's not the standard behaviour. Can you replicate it in a more minimal table? e.g one with one column and two rows and single letters in each box?

If you can't replicate it, there's something odd going on in your table contents, rewrite it more carefully and if it's still broken post the source (View->View Source). If you can replicate it there's something weird going on, not sure how to help...
