Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Different Vertical alignment for each column in a table?

[CaptainProton]

Hi, I want to create a table with three columns, the text in the left column should be aligned on top, the right column on the bottom. The center column is stretched so that the whole table fits the page width. How can I do this? I tried the following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{scrreprt}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\begin{document}
  \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{lXr}
    this should be on top  & some text over several lines, more text, more text, more text, more text & this should be on the bottom\\
  \end{tabularx} 
\end{document}

However the right column is aligned on the top (should be bottom). If I include

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\tabularxcolumn}[1]{b{#1}}

All columns are aligned on the bottom. Does anyone have an idea how I can only have the right column align on the bottom?

Hi,

one possible solution (perhaps not the optimal one) would be to use the multirow package:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{scrreprt}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{multirow}

\begin{document}

\noindent\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{lXr}
  this should be on top  & some text over several lines, more text, more text, more text,
    more text & \multirow{5}{*}{this goes on the bottom}
\end{tabularx} 

\end{document}

Thank you very much! This works for me
