Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ multicolumn using parboxes

[Paradigm6790]

Hello, I'm in the need to make a rather complex table where I have multiple labels in a small horizontal space. In order to do this I have decided to use sideways text. The problem is that in a multicolumn environment I am having trouble having text remaining in a managably square area.

My question is "How do I make every column a parbox?" or "Is there another way, and what is it?"

Thank you!

Hi,

I noticed there's no answer until now. You chances to get a solution were higher if you would post some code, including a table, which shows how you are doing it.

The p column specifier acts similar to a parbox. The array package adds m and b for middle and bottom alignment. Furthermore, using the array package you could insert commands that work before and after each cell of a column. Here are examples with explanation: Creating tables with LaTeX.

Thanks for the reply! I will try the array suggestion. I was under the impression that the array package had a special mathematic purpose. I was obviously misreading.
