### Long table in two-column Environment

Hi everybody,

I have a list of numbers as follows:
1.656036  &  CIV     & 10.6$\pm$0.5   & 13.45$\pm$0.02\\1.656208  &  CIV     & 6.9$\pm$0.5   &  13.54$\pm$0.03  \\1.656389  &  CIV     & 12.1$\pm$0.4   &  13.83$\pm$0.01  \\                               .                               .                               .                               .1.656879  &  CIV     &  17.0$\pm$0.4   &  13.75$\pm$0.01  \\

I have about 200 lines of them. As can be seen, these lines can only fill one column. So when one column is filled with them I need them not to go to the next page but start filling the right hand side of the page, some thing like this:

1.656389 CIV 12.1(0.4) 13.83 . . 1.656389 CIV 12.1(0.4) 13.83
1.656389 CIV 12.1(0.4) 13.83 . . 1.656389 CIV 12.1(0.4) 13.83
1.656389 CIV 12.1(0.4) 13.83 . . 1.656389 CIV 12.1(0.4) 13.83
1.656389 CIV 12.1(0.4) 13.83 . . 1.656389 CIV 12.1(0.4) 13.83

So if I removed some lines it could automatically adjust itself.

I would be grateful for any help on this.

With best regards,
Hassan

Hi msbstar,

Welcome to the LaTeX community.

As far as I know it is impossible for a table to break at columns in a twocolumn document. One could probably emulate a table with a list... maybe the {tabbing} environment works here (I have never used it so I'm not sure).

Regards
Clemens
