# Suggestions for long and wide table

I want to add a "set" of tables in a document. Something like that

I thought of combing somehow supertabular for spliting in pages and landscape in order to rotate it...

I don't know how to achieve it or if there is another better solution. Any ideas will be more than welcomed!!!

A "minimum" effort is the following

\documentclass[11pt]{book}
\usepackage[english, greek]{babel}
\usepackage[iso-8859-7]{inputenc}
\usepackage{kerkis}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{units}

\newcommand{\sw}{\selectlanguage{english}}
\newcommand{\sq}{\selectlanguage{greek}}
\newcommand{\eng}[1]{\latintext#1\greektext}
\newcommand{\gre}[1]{\greektext\latintext#1}
\usepackage{lscape}
\usepackage{supertabular}

\begin{document}
\begin{landscape}\sq
\begin{table}
%\hspace{-1cm}
\begin{center}
\begin{supertabular}    {|C{0.3cm}|C{2.7cm}|C{1.6cm}|C{1.5cm}|C{1.4cm}|C{1.3cm}|C{1.8cm}|C{1.8cm}|C{1.8cm}|C{1.5cm}    |C{1.5cm}|C{1.5cm}|C{1cm}|}

It is really ugly I know, it rather big;yes you are right and has a lot of errors(188). There are errors(~28) that have to do with alignment on the first table C{2cm}, which I don't know how to fix... There are other errors that have to do with probably the fact that I cannot have multicols in a longtable.

What problem did you run into when you tried to combine supertabular and landscape? Please post the code here so those trying to help have something to start with. While solving problems is fun, setting them up is not. Then those trying to help can simply cut and paste your MWE and get started on solving problem. –  Peter Grill Oct 10 '12 at 7:58
As well, I think that it is somehow possible to combine lscape and longtable, see this answer by David Carlisle: tex.stackexchange.com/a/63592/11002 Remember that longtable has quite a special formatting, see its manual here. –  yo' Oct 10 '12 at 8:20
You should definitely include some attempt. Even if it's totally different to an eventual solution, it shows that you've put some effort into the problem and it will still be good for setting up a shell document. Also a tip; vertical lines are normally bad. Many journals actually remove them since they add little but clutter. I'll refrain from the usual comic sans rant. ;) –  qubyte Oct 10 '12 at 9:55
you are loading supertabular but not using it you have used a normal tabular and put it in a [H] table (which is a minipage) so it can not break over a page or float. –  David Carlisle Oct 10 '12 at 11:43
The error message in the MWE is ! LaTeX Error: Illegal character in array arg. which is simply that you have used C which is not a legal column specification, you would need to define it with \newcolumntype. Please edit your MWE so that it runs without unrelated errors. –  David Carlisle Oct 10 '12 at 11:47

Both supertabular and longtable may be used in a landscape environment, but in either case it is necessary to load the appropriate package and use the supertabular or longtable directly inside the landscape not inside a table environment or other floating or box construct.
