I am trying to produce a table 24*9 with text. If you run the code below you see that the columns to the right is outside of the table. I guess this could have something to do with the first and second column being connect too, no space between the values inside the columns.

Thankful for any input. Thanks.

  • Please tell us which paper size you employ and how wide the margins are supposed to be.

    Your table is probably wider than \textwidth. Try using a page size that is wider. And also you specify 10 columns, but only use 9 of them.

I suggest you set \tabcolsep to 0pt and let LaTeX figure out the available amount of intercolumn whitespace.

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[letterpaper,margin=1in]{geometry} % set applicable page parameter values
\usepackage{booktabs}

  • Thank you. I think this solution is sligthly better then the other answer since here the stars on the last column is inside the table limits.

  • Your table is quite a bit wider than default \textwidth of ąrticle document class, so I suggest to use geometry package and make it bigger
  • If this is not an option, than you need to put table landscape oriented page
  • I suppose that you looking for threeparttable or talltblr equivalent of tabularray package:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{geometry}       %  needed!  otherwise cells will overlap
\usepackage{tabularray}
\UseTblrLibrary{booktabs}

\begin{document}
    \begin{table}[h!]
\SetTblrStyle{note}{font=\footnotesize}
\begin{talltblr}[
    \small
caption = {DM Test},
  label = {table:5:2},
note{} = {some text, *:    \dots,
          **:   \dots and 
          ***:  \dots.
          }
                ]{colspec = {@{} r *{8}{X[l]} @{}},
                  row{3-Z}= {rowsep  = 0pt},
                  row{even[3-X]} = {belowsep=1ex}

  • Thank you. Is there a way to see that the table is wider than the \textwidth, or how do you know this?
    – Simon Rydstedt

  • @SimonRydstedt, table is defined so, that can't be wider than \textwidth. If you like to see, that this is true, in preamble add \usepackage{showframe} (which you should remove in final version of document).
