The width of a table is largely determined by the number and width of the columns. Column width is set automatically to match the width of the data, or you can specify column with the "align" argument to the xtable command (see help(xtable) for details).

If that's not doing it, I'd have to play ...

:D Thank you, localghost. That's one to keep in my bag of tricks.

I'm having recurrent trouble with the placement of a tables in documents. The case is when I need a table to appear within a particular section or subsection that contains little else.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did as you suggested and kspewhich won't return a path for glossaries.sty, unless I run kpsewhich from the directory in the Tex Live tree where glossaries.sty is located. I've run texhash and that did not fix the problem. What should I try next? I'm still very new to ...

Does anyone have an idea why I'd get the compiling error message "'glossaries.sty' not found" when Tex Live says that it is installed?

Like many people, I have a separate directory for each tex document, and for me this ...

I'm also struggling to make glossaries work. I tried several packages including glossary and glossaries, and settled on the glossary function built into the memoir class. That requires running MakeIndex from the command-line, as I can't figure out how to TeXShop to specify that MakeIndex should be ...
