Problem:
I wish to break my one-column table, written in tabularx, over two pages in a two-column environment. I have seen examples where this could be done using supertabular, longtable and xtab but it does not seem to work in my example.
Minimal Working Example (MWE):
\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage[OT6,T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\begin{document}
\begin{table*}[t]
\caption{Caption here}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{Xcc}
\toprule

\hspace{2.5mm} By saying hello. & 11 & 14.7\% \\
\hspace{2.5mm} By saying hello, followed by my name. & 7 & 9.3\% \\
\hspace{2.5mm} By saying hello, followed by my name and asking me what I want help with. & 27 & 36\% \\

Output:
Desired output:
To make tabularx (or any other table solution) continue over two pages with a footnote saying "continued from previous page".
xltabularpackage. Remove thetable*environment and use\onecolunnbefore and\twocolumnafter thexltabular. This will lead to a pagebreak between the tabular and the following twocolumn text. – leandriis Aug 26 at 14:16
