Is there a way to align tables in LaTeX?
I was writing a document with several tables in the same page, and often the edges don't match.
I would like to have tables aligned in both left and right edge.
\paragraph{Articoli}
\begin{large}
\begin{tabular}{ | l | l | l | p{3cm} |}
\hline
\textbf{Attributo} & \textbf{Tipo} & \textbf{Byte} & \textbf{Complessivo}
\\ \hline
& & & 1500 occorrenze \\ \hline
Codice & Char(7) & 7 & 10,7 kB \\ \hline
Nome & Varchar (100) & 100 & 150 kB \\ \hline
Marca & Varchar (100) & 100 & 150 kB \\ \hline
Prezzo & Money & 8 & 12,2 kB \\ \hline
Disponibile & Integer & 4 & 6.2 kB \\ \hline
Soglia & Integer & 4 & 6.2 kB \\ \hline
Reparto & Char (4) & 4 & 6.2 kB \\ \hline
Totale & & & 321 kB \\ \hline
Dati + Block Header & & & 322 kB \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\paragraph{Reparti}
\begin{tabular}{ | l | l | l | p{3cm} |}
\hline
\textbf{Attributo} & \textbf{Tipo} & \textbf{Byte} & \textbf{Complessivo}
\\ \hline
& & & 120 occorrenze \\ \hline
Codice & Char(4) & 4 & 0,5 kB \\ \hline
Nome & Varchar (100) & 100 & 12.1 kB \\ \hline
Sezione & Char(4) & 4 & 0.5 kB \\ \hline
Totale & & & 12.2 kB \\ \hline
Dati + Block Header & & & 12.3 kB \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\paragraph{Pagamenti}
\begin{tabular}{ | l | l | l | p{3cm} |}
\hline
\textbf{Attributo} & \textbf{Tipo} & \textbf{Byte} & \textbf{Complessivo} \\ \hline
& & & 10 occorrenze \\ \hline
Codice & Char(4) & 4 & 0,1 kB \\ \hline
Nome & Varchar (100) & 100 & 1 kB \\ \hline
Totale & & & 1.1 kB \\ \hline
Dati + Block Header & & & 1.2 kB \\ \hline
\end{tabular}

I think you're abusing the
\paragraph
macro. I believe it's preferable to set up a new macro that typesets its argument ("articoli", "reparti", and "pagamenti", resp.) in bold in a "box" of a given width.A separate comment: In the right-hand column of the tables, you seem to be using commas and periods ("full stops") to denote the decimal marker. I believe it's good practice to standardize the notation.
