Usingm{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 aparbox
. 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 (onetabcolsep
) 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 likeraggedright
into a column you can do this with thearray
-package. The syntax is>{pre-cell-content}m{0.5cm}<{post-cell-content}
. So usingraggedright
would look like:>{raggedrightarraybackslash}m{0.5cm}
. Thearraybackslash
is to restore the\
inside atabular
(raggedright
changes it).

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 aparbox
. 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).– Skillmon

Thank u for your comment, but looking at the table, its like "Age" is in the middle and "Height " is towards right
– user252783

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 likeraggedright
into a column you can do this with thearray
-package. The syntax is>{pre-cell-content}m{0.5cm}<{post-cell-content}
. So usingraggedright
would look like:>{raggedrightarraybackslash}m{0.5cm}
. Thearraybackslash
is to restore the\
inside atabular
(raggedright
changes it).– Skillmon

Even the unreadable
tiny
font size givesOverfull hbox
messages. Can't you really use larger tables?tabularx{linewidth}
would have no problem.– Bernard

I'd also say that the best approach is change stuff so that you can use more horizontal space.
