I am working on the LaTeX overleaf. I am using the IEEE access template which is two column. I have to fix my table in a single column. I have to fix the table where its place. I have used \FloatBarrier
for this. \FloatBarrier
has fixed the table on its place but the table is covering the text. I have applied all the techniques like using Table*
,!htbp
, \FloatBarrier
and many more. I will very thankful to solve this issue.
\FloatBarrier
\begin{table}[!htbp]
\caption{Car Database}
\label{table:Car_DB}
\begin{tabular}{ccccc}
\toprule
\textbf{Car\_ID} & \textbf{Car\_Name} & \textbf{Car\_Number} &\textbf{Owner\_Name} &\textbf{Owner\_ID} \\
\midrule
C1 &Suzuki Mehran &RIZ 3725 &Bilal Khalid &34512-4520645-5\\
C2 &mazda &MN 3909 &Usman Bhatti &32103-9963008-2\\
C2 &Toyotta Carolla &LEL 06 4520 &Ali Haider &12345-1529307-7\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
I'd suggest reducing the column headers since your \caption
already mentions items will be related/represent cars. That is, remove the Car
prefix. Then you can also reduce the \tabcolsep
inserted between each column using
\setlength{\tabcolsep}{0.7\tabcolsep}
The above command reduces \tabcolsep
by 30%. Here's a display of the end result:
\documentclass{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{lipsum,booktabs}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}
\caption{Car Database}
\begin{tabular}{ccccc}
\toprule
\textbf{Car\_ID} & \textbf{Car\_Name} & \textbf{Car\_Number} &\textbf{Owner\_Name} &\textbf{Owner\_ID} \\
\midrule
C1 & Suzuki Mehran & RIZ 3725 & Bilal Khalid & 34512-4520645-5 \\
C2 & Mazda & MN 3909 & Usman Bhatti & 32103-9963008-2 \\
C3 & Toyotta Carolla & LEL 06 4520 & Ali Haider & 12345-1529307-7 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\begin{table}

\setlength{\tabcolsep}{0.7\tabcolsep}% Shrink \tabcolsep by 30%

\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\sloppy % Just for this example
\lipsum[1]

More options available from My table doesn't fit; what are my options?
