I am making a centered table but want the headings in the far left column to be left-aligned instead of centred.
Preamble:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{indentfirst}
\usepackage[top=1in, bottom=1in, left=1in, right=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{subcaption}
Table code:
\begin{table}[ht]
\caption{Regression standard errors} % title of Table
\centering % used for centering table
\begin{tabular}{c c c c c} % centered columns (4 columns)
\hline\hline %inserts double horizontal lines
Confidence Interval & N=10 & N=30 & N=100 & N=500 \\ [0.5ex] % inserts table
%heading
\hline % inserts single horizontal line
Asymptotic & \% & \% & \% & \% \\
Efron & \% & \% & \% & \% \\
Hall & \% & \% & \% & \% \\
Percentile-t & \% & \% & \% & \% \\
Symmetric percentile-t & \% & \% & \% & \% \\ [1ex] % [1ex] adds vertical space
\hline %inserts single line
\end{tabular}
\label{table:nonlin} % is used to refer this table in the text
\end{table}
\begin{table}[ht]
severely restricts the places that latex can place the table so increases the chance of it going to the end of the document. It's almost always better to includep
or not have the optional argument at all. – David Carlisle Apr 8 '13 at 1:01
