I have space restriction and can give only the space mentioned in the table structure below. My concern is how to justify to left, the contents in cells so that the text Height, weight etc will be completely inside the table. I saw that, instead of |ccc| we can use |lll| or |rrr| ... but here I have |m{0.5cm}| and I don't know how to change.

    Using m{0.5cm} already left aligns the contents of a cell (but with justification), but the cell gets a width of 0.5cm no matter what. Now TeX tries to put the stuff of one cell into this width like it does for a parbox. The problem is that it can't linebreak "Weight". In other words: It is not possible without changing a size (be it the fontsize or the column width).

  • It isn't. They are leftaligned. You are tricked by the fact that there is a bit of padding around the cell (one tabcolsep) and the fact that "Age" has a width of around 0.5cm which is why it does look centred. If you want to inject stuff like raggedright into a column you can do this with the array-package. The syntax is >{pre-cell-content}m{0.5cm}<{post-cell-content}. So using raggedright would look like: >{raggedrightarraybackslash}m{0.5cm}. The arraybackslash is to restore the \ inside a tabular (raggedright changes it).

Since you're bound to the column width of .5 cm, I'd suggest abbreviating your header texts adding some footnotes at the end of the table.
