Tables

Maximum table size

For the content to display correctly when a review is published on the Cochrane Library, a table should have 12 columns maximum.

Tables with up to 7 columns will display in the published PDF in portrait orientation. Tables with 7-12 columns will automatically be displayed in the published PDF in landscape orientation. 

RevMan will not allow you to exceed the maximum size of 25 columns. However, follow the guidance above to ensure all the text in your table displays correctly on publication.
