Table on its own page
Two suggestions:
Change
\begin{table}
and\end{table}
to\begin{table*}
and\end{table*}
. This will ensure that table occupies both columns and that it'll show up at the top of the next page.Assuming you'll continue to use a
tabularx
environment, and assuming you'll want it to take up the full width of the text block (i.e., both columns), change the first argument of\begin{tabularx}
from\columnwidth
to\textwidth
.

A last minute decision is going to require some heavy lifting. I was originally just going to show a snapshot of my regression output in my paper (in a small table) but I feel as though my professor would prefer to see each and every coefficient. So, I would like to create a large table that gets its own page and spans both columns. It's the only way i'll be able to fit all of the information anyway. Here's the table I have so far that needs to be moved to its own page and made much larger:
\documentclass[twocolumn]{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{newtxtext} \usepackage[lite]{mtpro2} \usepackage{amsmath,geometry,siunitx,booktabs, tabularx} \newcolumntype{C}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}X} \newcolumntype{L}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}X} \newcommand\mC[1]{\multicolumn{1}{C@{}}{#1}} % handy shortcut macro \sisetup{group-separator={,}, group-minimum-digits=4} \usepackage[skip=1ex]{caption} \captionsetup[table]{font=small, labelfont=bf, singlelinecheck=no} %% Remaining Code: Be sure not to reload any already-loaded packages \usepackage{%booktabs, makecell, %tabularx } \renewcommand\theadfont{\normalsize} \renewcommand\theadgape{} \setcellgapes{2pt} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{graphicx} \raggedbottom %\usepackage{amsmath,geometry} \usepackage{rotating} \usepackage[referable]{threeparttablex} %\usepackage{siunitx} %\usepackage[skip=1ex]{caption} \usepackage{upquote} \usepackage{balance} %\usepackage[lite]{mtpro2} % Times Roman math font %\usepackage{float} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{footmisc} %\captionsetup[table]{font=small, % labelfont=bf, % singlelinecheck=no} %for borders on figures \usepackage{float} \floatstyle{boxed} \restylefloat{figure} \title{\LARGE \bf ECON 425 Term Paper} \author{} \begin{document} %TABLE: \begin{table}[htb] \caption{Estimates of pay-performance sensitivity.} \label{tab:table1} OLS regressions of CEO salary and CEO total compensation on change in shareholder wealth. Standard errors in parentheses. \medskip \setlength\tabcolsep{4pt} \small \makegapedcells \begin{tabularx}{\columnwidth}{@{}L ll@{}} \toprule \thead[l]{Dependent\\ variable} & \thead[l]{CEO\\ salary\\ (eq. \ref{eqn:first})} & \thead[l]{CEO total\\ compensation\\ (eq. \ref{eqn:second})} \\ \midrule Intercept & 434.319 & 6250.899 \\ Change in shareholder wealth (\%~Change) & $-0.304$ (.083) & $-2.638$ (1.551) \\ \addlinespace Adj R-squared & 0.255 & 0.062 \\ F-statistic & $142.13^*$ & $34.10^*$ \\ Sample Size & 11537 & 11529 \\ \bottomrule \end{tabularx} \smallskip $^{*}$ Significant at the 1\% level. \end{table} \end{document]
I understand if you would prefer that I showed you my best effort first, but rather than messing up my paper I thought I would see if anybody would give it a try first.
This is for an idea of the amount of information I need to present:
UPDATE @MICO (let me know if you'd like an MWE as well) I think i'll use one table for parameter estimates and the other for comparing goodness of fit measures. Could you help me with this encroaching issue? FYI I simply copy and pasted the table right after the other one and then removed the * symbol from table
EDIT FOR MICO:
I was using textwidth, switching to column width looks better, but doesnt look like itll fit the third equation:

Mico over 5 yearsFor the second
table
(the unstarred one), are you maybe using\textwidth
instead of\columnwidth
as the width of thetabularx
environment?

Mico over 5 years@texmex - Sorry, i don’t see an equation.
