I have a table with long heading names. I want to fix the the width of the columns. When I do so the text flows out if the column. Any suggestion about fixing it.  Here is the example   \begin{table*}[ht] \begin{tabular}{|l|r|r|r|r|r|} \hline Image &amp; Score  &amp; here is a lot of text &amp; agian a lot &amp;a lot and a lot&amp; and the same here\\ \hline a \(left\) &amp; 1 &amp; 1 &amp; 1 &amp; 1 &amp; 1  \\ \hline b \(right\)&amp;  1 &amp;1 &amp; 1 &amp; 1 &amp; 1  \\  \end{tabular}  \end{table*}

I'm getting some odd table alignment issues with a table that I'm constructing inside of a \whileboolexpr.  The .tex file is the following:  \documentclass{article}  \usepackage{etoolbox}  \newcounter{pcnt} \setcounter{pcnt}{0}  \newenvironment{defineperson}[1] {\csgdef{person\thepcnt}{#1}} {\stepcounter{pcnt}}  \newcommand\persontitle[1]{\csgdef{persontitle\thepcnt}{#1}} \newcommand\personmail[1]{\csgdef{personmail\thepcnt}{#1}} \newcommand\showperson[1]{\textbf{#1}}  \newcommand\maketabular[1]{\begin{tabular}{| l | l | l |} \hline #1 \end{tabular}}  \newcounter{nada}  \newcommand\makepersonrtable{%   \setcounter{nada}{0}%   \maketabular{%   \whileboolexpr     { test {\ifnumcomp{\value{nada}}{&lt;}{\value{pcnt}}} }%     {\showperson{\csuse{person\thenada}} &amp; \csuse{persontitle\thenada} &amp; \csuse{personmail\thenada} \\ \hline \stepcounter{nada} }   }}  \begin{defineperson}{Mr.}   \persontitle{Wall Eye}   \personmail{weye@gmail.com} \end{defineperson}  \begin{defineperson}{Mrs.}   \persontitle{Perch}   \personmail{perch@gmail.com} \end{defineperson}  \begin{defineperson}{Mr.}   \persontitle{Brook Trout}   \personmail{btrout@gmail.com} \end{defineperson}  \begin{document}  \makepersonrtable  \end{document}   This does generate a table as I would have expected, but the alignment is off - e.g.,   Notice that the first "Mr." is not aligned with the second row.  Also notice the extra vertical lines at the bottom.  Any idea what's going on here? I know there are other ways of making tables, but this I'm trying a few alternatives as a learning exercise.

I have a long table with the explanation of 50 items (the MWE displays only 9). I believe this is hard to read. How do I make it easy to read?  \documentclass[10pt,cleardoublepage=empty,twoside]{book} \usepackage[a5paper]{geometry} \usepackage{longtable} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}  \usepackage{booktabs}  \begin{document} \begin{longtable}{p{4.8cm} p{4.8cm}} \caption{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, orci vivamus ac neque augue cras, pellentesque libero integer.}\\ \textsc{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet}&amp;\textsc{Lorem ipsum}\\ \midrule \endfirsthead \caption[]{(continued)}\\ \endhead \endlastfoot  aenean ipsum enim egestas dui amet, ut condimentum ipsum vel arcu ullamcorper, nec et quis dolor mi, nunc id laoreet velit elit sit orci. Pede vestibulum ac amet &amp;\textit{enean}\slash \textit{egestas}\\  pede vestibulum ac amet &amp;\textit{egestas}\slash \textit{condimentum}\\  aenean ipsum enim egestas dui amet, ut condimentum ipsum vel arcu ullamcorper, ante voluptatem, suspendisse sed euismod leo &amp;\textit{hasellus}\slash \textit{egestas}\\  pede vestibulum ac amet. &amp;\textit{egestas}\slash \textit{condimentum}\\  aenean ipsum enim egestas dui amet, ut condimentum ipsum vel arcu ullamcorper &amp;\textit{laoreet}\slash \textit{velit}\\  aenean ipsum enim egestas dui amet, ut condimentum ipsum vel arcu ullamcorper, ante voluptatem, suspendisse &amp;\textit{enean}\slash \textit{egestas}\\  mauris lectus vel nulla neque lectus vel nulla eget cras luctus enim pharetra, curabitur sed curabitur sed vitae, lectus vel nulla neque &amp;\textit{egestas}\slash \textit{condimentum}\\  mauris eget cras luctus enim pharetra, curabitur sed vitae, lectus vel nulla neque &amp;\textit{cras}\slash \textit{enim}\\  sapien in sed.

Do you think it could look better than this?  \documentclass[10pt,cleardoublepage=empty,twoside]{book} \usepackage[a5paper]{geometry} \usepackage[english]{babel} \usepackage{longtable} \usepackage{multirow} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}  \usepackage{booktabs}  \begin{document}  \begin{longtable}{l l} \caption{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh}\\ \textsc{Lorem Ipsum}&amp;\textsc{Ament}\\ \midrule \endfirsthead \caption[]{(continued)}\\ \textsc{Semantic Category}&amp;\textsc{Variable}\\ \midrule \endhead \endlastfoot \multirow{3}{*}{consectetur eiusmod tempor}&amp;\textit{dolor}/\textit{sit}\\ &amp;\textit{ament}/\textit{sit}\\ &amp;\textit{laboris}/\textit{explicabo}\\ \\ \multirow{3}{*}{consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod}&amp;\textit{exercitationem}/\textit{voluptatem}\\ &amp;\textit{incidunt}/\textit{laboris}\\ &amp;\textit{aliquid}/\textit{explicabo}\\ \\ \multirow{2}{*}{consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do}&amp; \textit{holiday}/\textit{exercitationem}\\ &amp;\textit{sundown}/\textit{laboris}\\ \\ \multirow{2}{*}{consectetur adipisicing, sed do eiusmod}&amp;\textit{laboris}/\textit{incidunt}\\ &amp;\textit{exercitationem}/\textit{voluptatem}\\ \\ consectetur adipisicing elit, sed&amp;\textit{aliquid}/\textit{incidunt}\\ \\ consectetur elit, sed do eiusmod&amp;\textit{explicabo}/\textit{laboris}\\ \end{longtable}  \end{document}
