Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ Wrapping text in tabularx table

[templateuser]

Hi there,

I’ve got a problem with tabularx.
When i use tabluarx in this template the text in a column doesn’t wrap.
Does anybody have any idea how solve this problem?

For example:

Code: Select all

\begin{tabularx}{3cm}{r l l r X }
Part No. & Date & Bin No. & Price & Description \\
10034 & January 1998 & A-4 & 10.94 & Added in 1998 but discontinued five years later due to low demand. \\
2994 & March 2006 & B-2 & 8.74 & Replaced part no. 2998 for use in vacuum cleaners.
\end{tabularx}

The tamplate ignores the command {3cm} and the text doesn’t wrap.

Thank you for any answer!

Hi Sandro,

The example you pasted works just fine except your value of 3cm is way too small. When I changed the first line to \begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{r l l r X} the table takes up the width of the page with the last column wrapping correctly.

Cheers,
Vel
