I want to prepare this for the Springer journal and the structure of the table is predetermined. Due to the large size of my table, I have to use longtable. But the font size, text direction, and structure of the caption (eliminating ":" and bold "Table X") are different. How can I make longtable insert like the defined simple table structure?

This is the code I use (zip file):

    it would be more helpful to provide a test document, we can not run a fragment to see the issue. it appears that you want the table left aligned not centred so use \begin{longtable}[l] Mar 31, 2021 at 23:42
  • @DavidCarlisle I completed the code and uploaded the zip version for more information. Thanks, but using your suggested code will not cause the caption to be left-aligned and I still do not know how I can change the title structure (bold "Table 2", delete ":", and change the font size to the standard table font size).

  • No please don't use an external link, your question is archived forever and will not make sense if that link breaks. Just post a small document that shows your issue. Do you need an EPS image just to demonstrate table positioning? Apr 1, 2021 at 8:50

You can redefine the internal command that longtable uses for the caption, according to what svjour3 does.

I also define a new environment for the adaptation of longtable to Springer's style.

Document class svjour3 default settings define \small font size (only) for table floats contents and has not define boldface font for caption labels, so if you like (anyway) to has it, you need to add caption package and with it overwrite its default settings. To have longtable caption left align, you need to add singlelinecheck=false to caption package options. For smaller fonts in longtable, you need to enclose it in group which has \small font size.

Beside aforementioned changes in MWE below are used horizontal lines define in the booktabs package:
