Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Wrapping text in columns

[Pratt_G]

Hi,

I am trying to make a table such that contents of one of the columns should be wrapped between two rows. I hope the MWE below explains what I am trying to do. Can anyone please suggest me how to get this working?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11 pt]{article}

\usepackage{threeparttable}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{booktabs}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[!ht]
\caption{Example}
\centering
\def\arraystretch{1.7}
\begin{tabular}{l l c c c p{2 cm}}
\toprule
A1   		&B1		&C1		&D1	 &E1		&F1\\
A2		&B2		&C2		&D2	 &E2		&F2\\
\hline									
A3		&B3		&C3		&D3	 &E3		&\multirow{2}{*}{I want this text to wrap between third and fourth row}\\ 
A4		&B4		&C4		&D4	 &E4		\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}

Thanks,
Pratt

Hi,

I am not sure, but i think you just want to give your multirow-command a specified width. I took the width of the par-column.

Code: Select all

\multirow{2}{2cm}{I want this text to wrap between third and fourth row}

If you put a star in the second mandatory command, width of the column take up "the natural width of the text argument".


Best regards
