Table alignment 2 columns (overlapping tex)

Post by lattitudeoner »

Hi all,

So I am quite new to Latex, I am having a problem.
I have a 2 column acm format which I am using to write a report.

When I want to insert a table over the whole width it overlaps the text.
Can somebody please help me.

Latex code:
\begin{table}[t]
\centering
\caption{Current tool experience}
\label{my-label}
\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{%
\begin{tabular}{l|llllllll}
Tool research topics & Very Poor & Poor & Fair & Good & Very Good & Mean & S.D & 95\% CI \\ \hline
Q5. Meeting the experimental requirements & 0 (0\%) & 1 (10\%) & 4 (40\%) & 4 (40\%) & 1 (10\%) & 3.5 & 0.85 & 1.13886 – 2.8114 \\
Q6. Usability experience & 0 (0\%) & 3 (30\%) & 4 (40\%) & 2 (20\%) & 1 (10\%) & 3.1 & 0.99 & 1.19722 – 3.1079 \\
Q7. Support experimental phases & 1 (10\%) & 2 (20\%) & 5 (50\%) & 1 (10\%) & 1 (10\%) & 2.9 & 1.10 & 1.25167 – 2.6873
\end{tabular}

\end{table}

Hi, for a table overlapping both columns, please use table* instead.

If this does not work, please provide a proper minimal working example so we can better help.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
