# Issue with Three Part Table and TexWorks

I'm transferring some latex code form sharelatex to texworks, and although this code works perfectly in sharelatex, it seems to be hiccuping on the three parttable in texworks. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

The actual code for the table is below:

 & \multicolumn{6}{c}{\textbf{Class}} \\
\textbf{School}&\textbf{1}&\textbf{2}&\textbf{3}&\textbf{4}&\textbf{5}&\textbf{Total} \\
\midrule
RN3&0.24&0.00&0.00&0.00&0.63&0.86 \\
Seiko&0.00&0.00&0.00&0.00&0.75&0.75 \\

• I think there's something wrong in your column definition\begin{tabular}{4*{6}c}. How many are your actual columns? – CarLaTeX Aug 10 '18 at 4:49
• Ahh sorry, I just updated my question to include table for the code. I"m not very good at latex so I don't know if row headers count as a column, but I'm pretty sure there are six columns – Cory Aug 10 '18 at 6:02

If you want to put a note without a \item use para option in the tablenotes environment.

Moreover:

1. Look at When should we use \begin{center} instead of \centering?
2. avoid using resizebox to resize a table, it is better to use the appropriate font, for example \large (but in this case the normalsize caption is awful, in my opinion, I wouldn't change the font at all).
3. since you loaded dcolumn, use it for better number alignment.

I have also loaded array to add some space between rows modifying \arraystretch.

Edit:

Since you can't change your input file, the best alignment, in my opition is r:

\begin{filecontents*}{cumulative_length.tex}

\textbf{School}&\textbf{1}&\textbf{2}&\textbf{3}&\textbf{4}&\textbf{5}&\textbf{Total} \\

Seiko&0.00&0.00&0.00&0.00&0.75&0.75 \\
\end{filecontents*}

• Thanks so much for your help! I'm using the stata package tabout to output a table to latex form, so I'm sorta stuck with the actual table contents, but your advice on the code before and after has really helped! – Cory Aug 11 '18 at 5:12
• @Cory Which is the part you can't change? What you posted as "the actual code for the table"? – CarLaTeX Aug 11 '18 at 5:27
• Yes exactly. I use the tabout command with many different data so needed a way to work with its format. Thanks again for your help. – Cory Aug 13 '18 at 5:50
• @Cory See my edit. The filecontents* environment at the beginning is only to create a cumulative_length.tex file, of course you don't need to use it because you already have the file :) – CarLaTeX Aug 13 '18 at 9:45
