Possible values for the column specification are: l = left aligned column After generating the code, Overleaf numbers it as Table 2.1.

The first table in the following screenshot uses a tabularx column type and uses a centered version of the X column type for all 8 columns. This is given in the argument to the \begin Then, by all means, use either a tabularx or a tabular environment and set its width to textwidth. Otherwise the colored ERT will cause LaTeX-errors.Tables in LaTeX require a specification for the exact number of columns the table has. But if there is ERT, mark only the characters. To color the characters in the table, mark the cells and use the LyX menu Layout→Character. That is inserted at the beginning of the cell as ERT. That is inserted in the first cell of the line as ERT.

\renewcommandĪs we want to color the first column with darkgreen, we insert To override the default, we renew the command \multirowsetup with the preamble line The text follows outside the ERT-box and the command is finished with a right brace } in another ERT-box at the end of the text.Īt last we have to center the text, because \multirow left-aligns texts by default. As we are using a LaTeX-command, switch to ERT with the shortcut C-l and type in the commandĪccording to the command definition the multirow spans now two rows and has a width of 2.5 cm. The multirow is now created in the second row of the first column. table can also include results from other Stata commands. To get rid of the line above the last cell in the first column, we mark this cell as multicolumn in the table dialog and unset the upper border in the borders dialog. table can calculate summary statistics to display in the table. The rule that vertical alignment setting applies to the whole column does not apply for multicolumn cells.This means that the vertical alignment of a row should always be set in the cell which has the most lines, because this one corresponds to the actual row height (and any other multiline cells should be set to the default Top).Not precisely, but maybe more intuitively, you can also say that all the other cells in the row are positioned in the way you specifiy the vertical align of a multiline cell. Look below for examples of a middle-, top- and bottom-aligned three-line cell (the baseline is what is highlighted yellow). I am using overleaf to write a journal article and want to move a lot of my results table to the Appendix. The effect is that it looks as if all others but this cell are middle-aligned. I.e., if you have a cell with three lines in a column, the vertical alignment middle will position this cell in such a way that the middle of this cell (the second line in this case) will be on the baseline with the other cells. Vertical alignment means here: the current cell is aligned with respect to the baseline of the row. Rather than that, the settings have a visual effect on the remaining cells in the current row. The vertical alignment does not apply to the given cell in the sense that the content of this cell is then positioned vertically in the cell as specified (this is what word processors usually do).Please note that schemes should not be used and should be presented. "Bottom", for this whole column), the alignment itself applies to the current row. So, for Articles of 2,000 words or less, we suggest including no more than 4 figures/tables. if you have a fixed-width column, you can only set one vertical alignment, e.g. Even though the setting of the vertical alignment applies to the given column (i.e.
