Simple and Easy Method to Add Notes to Tables in Latex with Overleaf

Firstly, locate the "end table" command in your Latex code. After this, include the following command: "\begin{minipage}{length}". The minipage command allows you to create a small box under the table, where you can insert your notes. The "length" parameter specifies the size of this box. You can adjust this parameter by trial and error until you find the right size for your table.

Next, add your notes. I suggest using the command "\small" to adjust the font size of your text, and then typing in your notes. You can also add vertical space between the table and the notes using the command "\vspace{0.1cm}" (or any other desired amount of space).

To add horizontal lines between your table and notes, use the command "\hline". You can also add more vertical space after the line using the "\vspace" command again.

Lastly, if you want to add a second horizontal line, you can simply use the "\hline" command again.

Overall, this method is a simple and effective way to add notes to your tables and graphs in Latex with Overleaf. It requires minimal knowledge of packages and syntax, making it accessible even for beginners. As always, it's essential to experiment with different parameters to find what works best for your specific table or graph.

Code to copy and paste

\begin{minipage}{12cm}

\vspace{0.1cm}

\hline

\hline

\vspace{0.1cm}

\small  Notes: ***here write whatever you want to be under the table****

\end{minipage}

\end{table}

Some special notes..

• The first thing to determine is how long you would like the notes to be. You can modify the length by changing the value in curly brackets after:

\begin{minipage}{12cm}

It may take you some time to play around and find the right length, but I promise it won't be more than a minute!  You can try with decimals as well (i.e., 12.5cm / 11.25 cm, etc..)

• You can modify the space between the table and the notes by increasing the number between curly brackets after "vspace". I have used 0.1cm, but you can try 0.2cm or 0.3cm. I wouldn't try to use a bigger value since it would be very noticeable.

\vspace{0.1cm}
