LaTeX RAQs

Here are some Recently Asked Questions about TeX, entirely by myself, and some answers I found on the web.

Graphics & Tables/Floatings

Q: How do I place pictures inside a table?
A: Tips from LaTeX Matters
(This is useful for arranging pictures in neat format, as well as importing tables with nice formatting into LaTeX as pictures.)
In short, you can pretty much use \includegraphic within a \table environment.

Q: How to place wide tables in landscape?
A: Use lscape and pdflscape packages. See this.

Q: How to put all tables and figures at the end of the documents (as asked by many journals)?
A: Use endfloat package. See also these general tips.

Q: How to use table in landscape mode with endfloat?
A: 1.) Copy the file: efxmpl.cfg (which is located in the package
location: ...\latex\endfloat on my hard drive) to where the tex document is and leave it in that directory.
2.) rename the file: efxmpl.cfg to endfloat.cfg.
3.) Compile.
*** I haven't managed to do this successfully.

Q: How to vertically align numbers in different cells of the table?
A: Lots of suggestions on this, but I find the most flexible and simplest method is to use \phantom{}. E.g. to align 4.56 with (0.02)***, with 4.56 aligned with 0.02, we centre both cells, and use \phantom{***}(0.02)***.
