I have a hard time making a table that would have predefined dimensions (the whole page) and cells centered horizontally and vertically. I have found solutions for each of those problems individually,but they does not work together. Solutions that I have found so far took me to this point:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[czech]{babel} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage[total={17cm,25.7cm}, top=2cm, left=2cm, includefoot, bindingoffset=-0.63cm]{geometry} %\usepackage[twoside, hscale=0.88, vscale=0.88, bindingoffset=0cm]{geometry} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{array} \usepackage{booktabs,adjustbox} \newcommand{\finalcells}[2]{% \begingroup\sbox0{\begin{minipage}{3cm}\raggedright#1\end{minipage}}% \sbox2{\begin{minipage}{3cm}\raggedright#2\end{minipage}}% \xdef\finalheight{\the\dimexpr\ht0+\dp0+\smallskipamount\relax}% \xdef\finalheightB{\the\dimexpr\ht2+\dp2+\smallskipamount\relax}% \ifdim\finalheightB>\finalheight \global\let\finalheight\finalheightB \fi\endgroup \begin{minipage}[t][\finalheight][t]{3cm}\raggedright#1\end{minipage}& \begin{minipage}[t][\finalheight][t]{3cm}\raggedright#2\end{minipage}} \begin{document} {\setlength{\extrarowheight}{3.5 cm} %\setlength{\tabcolsep}{4.25cm} \begin{tabular}{| m{8.5cm} | m{8.5cm} |} \hline asdasd & • \\ \hline • & • \\ \hline • & • \\ \hline • & • \\ \hline • & • \\ \hline • & • \\ \hline \end{tabular} } \end{document} It creates the table witch predefined dimensions, but the text is not centered. The thing that I actually want is to make two-sided (playing) cards that would match after the printing. Thank for any advice.
\begin{tabular}{| >{\centering\arraybackslash}m{8.5cm} | >{\centering\arraybackslash}m{8.5cm} |}gives what you like to have. BTW, why you define table cells on so complicated way?
