My table cannot fit on one page. If I could only split the table up over two pages or maybe make it start in the very top of the page instead of beginning the table in like the middle of the page then I could fix my problem.

My code is here:

\begin{table}[p]
\centering
  \begin{threeparttable}
    \caption{Pooled OLS and Fixed effects estimation on the initial model (eq. 1)}
     \begin{tabular}{llllll}
        \toprule
       \(Dependent variable: \Delta H_{it}\)  & \( Initial\ POLS \) & \( Initial\ FE \) & \ \\
        \midrule

              \end{tabular}
           \begin{tablenotes}
        \small
      \item Notes:
      \item *: dummy variable estimates refer to sample                     proportions rather than averages
      \item A: Originally 1 - excellent, 2 - very good, 3 - good, 4 - fair, 5 - poor. Probit estimations did not work so I rescaled to 0 - poor, 0.25 - fair, 0.5 - good, 0.75 - very good, 1 - excellent
      \item B: See section 3.2
   \end{tablenotes}
 \end{threeparttable}
\end{table}

  • If you want a table to be on top of a page, use option t for table environment –  Apr 18 '19 at 16:28
  • I tried chahing the "p" to a "t" in "\begin{table}[t]" but it doesnt work. The table still start way too far down.. can I move it up without changing margins?? – Emil Krabbe Apr 18 '19 at 16:35
  • Of course, because your table is so big that every floating options produces the same bad result. Consider using something like longtable or manually split your table to two independent tables and use t for each of those tables. –  Apr 18 '19 at 16:37
  • how would one use longtable in this scenario? I already tried replacing "begin{table}" with "begin{longtable" and adding in preamble – Emil Krabbe Apr 18 '19 at 16:40
  • That is just my suggestion. I have no experiences with longtable honestly. Maybe you should wait for some TeXperts out there. –  Apr 18 '19 at 16:42
