Re: Table size control

Hi Stefan

it was helpful and it works for me and the table width is now within page size. However, I found as my table is big, now it is gong over-length hight wise. I used \scalebox{0.70} and kept it inside a page.

Is it a good solution or there is any better way I can do it?

Cheers
Arif.

Table size control

Hi there

I can create a table perfectly. However the size is the problem. I got 7 columns and in each column I have some description which goes around 50 character. As a result my table width gets really so big that it goes beyond right hand margin.

Diagonal Table Header

Hi there

I can create table with 5 columns with \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}

Cheers
Arif.

Re: Error Missing $ inserted for my formula

Thanks Guys...

I think, as you said, I must be having the problems in some other place. I am going to give it a try with trial-and-error basis. The error must be in those files that I am including at the beginning of my manuscript.tex file.

thanks again.

Re: Error Missing $ inserted for my formula

Thanks and sorry, I wasn't aware of that rule.

I am attaching my style file.

Plus I got another clue:

\[
p(t|a, b) = \frac{1}{{b^a}\Gamma
(a)}{t^{a-1}}{\exp^{\frac{-t}{b}}}
\]

I get error on things like \frac{}, \Gamma{} etc.

But there is no error for things like:
\begin{eqnarray}
m& = &ab ...
