what is nice looking table is personal opinion. apparently (as follows from accepted answers on your previous question) you don't like professional looking tables.



Anyway, as i told you in comment, your table is to wide that can be fit into one column as it is. so, according to my taste i suggest you to write it over two columns as follows:

or consider the second possibilities: interchange rows and columns in your table:

  • @user3406764 This is how professional, really nice tables look like. Classical, clean layout, no distracting clutter.

  • In my opinion, the first table (over two columns) is the best, It blends very well to the page layout, and placing at the bottom of the page is a good choice. you may consider removing the side bearing by placing @ in the beginning and end of the preamble.

    – Sveinung

  • @Sveinung, you are right. in my first attempt i consider this, but letter i remove them, now don't know why. i will wait for while to op response and than correct table code as you suggest.

Here there is my simple proposal. With %<----adding you can see my changhes. The most important is the use the resizebox to decrease the size of the table.

    Personally, I would not recommend using resizebox in order to resize tables as this method will lead to inconsistent font sizes throughtout the document.

    – leandriis
    May 9 at 15:06











  • @leandriis I agree with you. However, it depends on the number of tables that are inserted in the document. If there are two or three, it could be a solution. Surely mine is just a proposal, and it certainly won't be the best :-)

    @Sebastiano, do you see wiert.me/2014/04/03/… ? on web can find more similar presentation about table settings. in answers of Mico, Bernard (to name only a few) you can see many nice designed tables. they are worth to red. (i nullify dovn-wote).

    – Zarko
    May 9 at 16:20











  • @Zarko You're a very dear friend. I always thank you very much. I have tried to give my interpretation of the solution. :-)

Don't attempt to use resizebox for tables, this a really bad advice to give to users because it will give very ugly results.



If you want to keep this layout (the clean layout from Zarko is much better) manually choose a smaller font size and reduce the inter column space:

what is nice looking table is personal opinion. apparently (as follows from accepted answers on your previous question) you don't like professional looking tables.



Anyway, as i told you in comment, your table is to wide that can be fit into one column as it is. so, according to my taste i suggest you to write it over two columns as follows:

endtable*

or consider the second possibilities: interchange rows and columns in your table:

  • In my opinion, the first table (over two columns) is the best, It blends very well to the page layout, and placing at the bottom of the page is a good choice. you may consider removing the side bearing by placing @ in the beginning and end of the preamble.

  • @leandriis I agree with you. However, it depends on the number of tables that are inserted in the document. If there are two or three, it could be a solution. Surely mine is just a proposal, and it certainly won't be the best :-)

Here there is my simple proposal. With %<----adding you can see my changhes. The most important is the use the resizebox to decrease the size of the table.

    Personally, I would not recommend using resizebox in order to resize tables as this method will lead to inconsistent font sizes throughtout the document.

  • @leandriis I agree with you. However, it depends on the number of tables that are inserted in the document. If there are two or three, it could be a solution. Surely mine is just a proposal, and it certainly won't be the best :-)

    @Sebastiano, do you see wiert.me/2014/04/03/… ? on web can find more similar presentation about table settings. in answers of Mico, Bernard (to name only a few) you can see many nice designed tables. they are worth to red. (i nullify dovn-wote).

Don't attempt to use resizebox for tables, this a really bad advice to give to users because it will give very ugly results.



If you want to keep this layout (the clean layout from Zarko is much better) manually choose a smaller font size and reduce the inter column space:
