Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ tabularx, overfull hbox

[bers]

Hi,
I guess that's a newbie question, but anyway. I used Google, but there are so many hits on hboxes that I can't figure out which ones contain useful information...

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{p{3cm}X}
a&b
\end{tabularx} %Overfull \hbox (15.0pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 6--7
\end{document}

What is overfull here? Really, there's enough space for everything!

Look forward to an answer.

Hi,

the problem comes from LaTeX indenting the paragraph that contains the table; to prevent it you can use \noindent:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\begin{document}

\noindent\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{p{3cm}X}
a&b
\end{tabularx}

\end{document}
