[Tex/LaTex] Right align text in table

horizontal alignmenttables

    \begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|p{3.35cm}||p{5cm}|l|}
\hline
\thead{Område} & \thead{Positive konsekvenser} & \thead{Negative konsekvenser} \\
\hline \hline
\textbf{Arbejdsfordeling} & Et nyt slags produkt giver næsten altid ny arbejdskraft & \\
\hline
\textbf{Infrastruktur} &  & \\
\hline
\textbf{De fysiske ressourcer} &  & \\
\hline
\textbf{Den offentlige sektor} &  & \\
\hline
\textbf{NGO'er} &  & \\
\hline
\textbf{Befolkningens levevilkår} &  & \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
    \end{center}

And it produces this output:

Table

How do I get the text in the left column aligned like the middle column row 2? I use the {p{xcm}} command but i don't know how to align it as with "c", "l" and "r".

Best Answer

Is that something like that you want? I suppose you loaded the makecell package in your preamble. I added using hhline for better-looking \hlines and vlines (although only horizontal lines, as suggested by the booktabs package look still better). I also loaded ragged2e to have reasonable hyphenation in column, and cellspace for a less tight vertical spacing in tables.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{makecell, ragged2e}%
\renewcommand*\theadfont{\bfseries}
\usepackage{cellspace}
\setlength\cellspacetoplimit{4pt}
\setlength\cellspacebottomlimit{4pt}
\usepackage{hhline}
\newcommand\myhline{\hhline{|-||-|-|}}

\begin{document}

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{| >{\RaggedRight\bfseries}S{p{3.35cm}}||p{5cm}|l|}
\myhline
\thead{Område} & \thead{Positive konsekvenser} & \thead{Negative konsekvenser} \\
\hhline{:=::=:=:}
Arbejdsfordeling & Et nyt slags produkt giver næsten altid ny arbejdskraft & \\
\myhline
Infrastruktur &  & \\
\myhline
De fysiske ressourcer &  & \\
\myhline
Den offentlige sektor &  & \\
\myhline
NGO'er &  & \\
\myhline
Befolkningens levevilkår &  & \\
\myhline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\end{document}
