  1. A gap is needed between the content and the superscript, the same for the note below the table.
  2. Only the first line of each cell starts on the left side. The other lines are indented.
  3. Explicit rules: If a table is...-longer than one page: Table headings should be repeated on the next page, but not the table number or title. -too wide to fit in one page: landscape orientation might be used. If not, different pages can be used but the first column on each page should be repeated.-too long and too wide at the same time: no other option but to change the table.
  1. Specific notes: the superscript character for the specific notes followed directly after the content, without a gap between them. In the specific note that was written below the table, there was not a gap either.
  2. Cells with more than one line: left orientation was used.
  3. Long or Wide Tables: no sample table.
