[Tex/LaTex] Table too large for page

spacingtables

I need to have the following in my thesis but it won't fit on the page. How can I move this 31 by 31 matrix to the left? Please help

\begin{table}
\centering
\caption{Covariance matrix of the binned distance modulus. }
\label{tab:cmub}
{\fontsize{6pt}{0.3em}
\setlength{\arraycolsep}{1pt}

in the first case table hasn't big value, because it is almost illegible. in the second case font size is bigger: instead \tiny can be used small.

[Tex/LaTex] tableofcontents too large

Try using \clearpage immediately after the table of contents. The \clearpage command forces everything above it to float to the top of the page in normal spacing rather than fill the page using even spacing.

[Tex/LaTex] Table too tall for page

I have two suggestions, not ranked in any order. Implementing either suggestion should save more than enough vertical whitespace to make the sectioning header and the table both fit on a single page.

Don't use \begin{center} ... \end{center}, because the center environment introduces a lot of vertical whitespace. Instead, use a \centering directive. You might have something like the following instructions near the top of the table
```
\caption{Effects of Merit Aid Eligibility, Ages 24 to 32, Omitting Allocated Data}  
\label{tab:Unallocated}

\medskip     % introduce some vertical whitespace (but not as much as center env. does)
\bgroup      % start a "group" to contain scope of next two statements
\centering
\small
```
and the following statements close to the bottom of the table:
```
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}  
\egroup         % end of scope of \centering and \small

\medskip        % some vertical separation to the footnoty stuff
\footnotesize Note: 
```
Separately, you may have noticed that the table is currently wider (by a tiny amount) than \textwidth; hence, neither the center environment nor the \centering directive actually have an effect. A suggestion on how to overcome this is provided below.
The amount of vertical whitespace between each of the groups of two rows is quite generous. Instead of a full blank line, you might employ a bit less vertical space by stating it explicitly as follows
```
\\[1.25ex]  % a full blank line is equivalent to \\[1\baselineskip] ...
```
The following example implements both ideas, i.e., it doesn't use the center environment, and it uses 1.25ex as the amount of whitespace between groups of two rows. With these two adjustments in place, the table now fits very comfortably in the page.

It also fixes the issue that the table is wider than the textblock. The fix comes in two parts: First, I omit the horizontal whitespace to the left of the first column and to the right of the final column. This actually makes the table ever so slightly less wide than the textblock. Centering such a table looks a bit like an accident. Thus, in a second step, I replace the tabular environment with a tabular* environment of width \textwidth, inserting the at first odd-looking expression @{\extracolsep{\fill}} in the specification of the tabular* environment; as its name (hopefully) suggests, this directive tells LaTeX to insert a bit of "stretchable" whitespace (\fill) between columns, thus making the entire table exactly as wide as \textwidth.

\emph{Notes}: 
Includes unallocated 2000 Decennial and 2001--2010 ACS survey data at the state-cohort-year level. The dependent variable is the share of a cohort born in a state and aged 24 to 32 at the time of the survey for whom the designated outcome is true. 

Each regression includes state, year, cohort and age fixed effects. Where indicated, the regression also includes a trend in year of birth relative to the year the first treated cohort was born for states with merit aid programs. Regressions are weighted by the number of observations in the given state-cohort-year cell. 

Standard errors are clustered at the state level. 

***, ** and * indicate statistically significant coefficients at the 1, 5, and 10 percent levels, respectively.
