I'm newbie in TeX, so I've decided to ask for some help.

I'm working on technical documentation for my job and I need to create a 4-column table, where text in first two columns top-aligned and centered horizontally, last two aligned with last string of second column. But I can't achieve this.

I've tried this: Align text at the bottom of the table cell

and this: Vertical alignment in tabular cells with variable height

But the closest result which I able to obtain is:

enter image description here

So, last three columns is OK, first one - not, it should be top-aligned.

I was successful to overcome this by usage of \multirow environment, but it's should be implemented individually to rows. If' I'll do this for long tables - it'll make me insane. I want one fixed style in preamble, if it's possible.

Here is my table in main body:

 %russian technichal standart documentation class \documentclass[russian, 14pt, utf8, columnsxxiv, columnxxxi, columnxxxii, pointsection, hpadding = 10mm]{eskdtext} %%%For working of eskdx, also cyrillic \usepackage{xecyr} %%%set TNR as main font \setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Times New Roman} %%%Additional position options \usepackage{float} %%%advanced tables \usepackage{tabularx} \newcolumntype{Y}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}X} \newcolumntype{d}{>{\centering}b{.25\textwidth}} \newcolumntype{s}{>{\centering}b{.1\textwidth}} \newcolumntype{a}{>{\centering}p{.25\textwidth}} %%%redefine command for № -symbol, because eskdx quite old package \renewcommand{\No}{\textnumero} \begin{document} \begin{table}[H] \label{appA} \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{a|d|s|Y} \hline Наименование & Основные технические данные & Кол., шт. & Примечание \\ \hline text text text text text text text & text text text text text text text text text text& {1} & text \\ \end{tabularx} \end{table} \end{document}

I'll appreciate any help!

    your codes snippets aren't very helpful. please, be so kind and merge and extent them to complete small document, called mwe (minimal working example) beginning with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. welcome to tex.se! Commented Oct 9, 2017 at 18:52

As far as I understand your request, the following solves the problem (sorry for poor representation of Russian language by Latin characters):

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{tabularx} \newcolumntype{Y}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}X} \newcolumntype{d}{>{\centering}b{.25\textwidth}} \newcolumntype{s}{>{\centering}b{.1\textwidth}} \newcolumntype{a}{>{\centering}p{.25\textwidth}} \newcolumntype{c}{>{\centering}b{.25\textwidth}<{\vfill}} \begin{document} \begin{table} \label{appA} % \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{a|d|s|Y} \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{c|d|s|Y} \hline Naimenovanije& Osnovnyje tehniceskije dannyje & Kol., &sht. Primechanije \\ \hline text text text text text text text & text text text text text text text text text text & {1} & text \\ \hline \end{tabularx} \end{table} \end{document}

You can avoid breaking off the last line of the paragraph "by hand" by just backing up by a line;

 %russian technichal standart documentation class \documentclass[russian, 14pt, utf8, columnsxxiv, columnxxxi, columnxxxii, pointsection, hpadding = 10mm]{eskdtext} %%%For working of eskdx, also cyrillic \usepackage{xecyr} %%%for fonts % don't use these \usepackage{xunicode,xltxtra} % this is already loaded \usepackage{fontspec} \def\No{???}% undefined command in MWE %%%set TNR as main font \setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Times New Roman} %%%Additional position options \usepackage{float} %%%advanced tables \usepackage{tabularx} \newcolumntype{Y}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}X} %%% центрированный тип блока ячейки для tabularx \newcolumntype{d}{>{\centering}p{.25\textwidth}} \newcolumntype{s}{>{\centering}p{.1\textwidth}} \newcolumntype{a}{>{\centering}p{.25\textwidth}} \begin{document} \begin{table}[H] \label{appA} \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{a|d|s|Y} \hline Наименование & Основные технические данные & Кол., шт. & Примечание \\ \hline text text text text text text text & text text text text text text text text text text&&\\[-\normalbaselineskip] && {1} & text \\ \end{tabularx} \end{table} \end{document}

  • David Carlisle, thanks! Fixed first post. Also, your variant works fine too. But there is a problem, it should be implemented to row individually. Commented Oct 9, 2017 at 19:39
  • @МаксКаширный why? you can make every logical row into two actual rows it just means that instead of & you use &&\\[-\normalbaselineskip]&& (which you could define to be some command \zz then your "row" would be aaa&bbb\zz ccc&dd\\ ) Commented Oct 9, 2017 at 19:42
  • Ok, I got it! Thanks for explanation, then it will be very nice! Commented Oct 9, 2017 at 19:48
