Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Table runs off page

[ThijsZaan]

Dear all,

For my MSc thesis, I'm trying to show a large table on a page. However, the right side of the table runs off the page, and I have no idea how to tackle this problem. I hope someone here can help me. Thanks in advance!

The code for the table:

Code: Select all

It looks like this:

I can't reproduce the somewhat strange bottom margin without knowledge of the document class you're using, but if I use the standard report class with the booktabs and lscape packages, it fits on the page (though not perfectly) if I put the first column heading in a 1 inch wide column, like so:

Code: Select all

\multicolumn{1}{p{1in}}{\raggedright\textbf{Soil Cover Practices}}

In the future, remember to post a minimal working example so we can reproduce what you see.
