terms.If you cannot make a table or figure fit on a page, you have several options.Landscape. If a table or figure is too wide for a page, turn it ninety degrees so that the leftside is at the bottom of the page; this orientation is called landscape or broadside. Do notput any text on a page containing a landscape table or figure. Set the table title or figurecaption in either landscape or portrait orientation. See figure A.13 for an example.Side by side. If a table is longer than a page but less than half a page wide, divide it in halfand position the two parts side by side on the same page. Include the column heads on bothparts.Multiple pages. If a table or figure is too long to fit on a single page in portrait orientationor too wide to fit in landscape, divide it between two (or more) pages. For tables, repeat thestub column and all column heads (see 26.2) on every page. Put the table number on a“continued” line at the top left of every page after the first, flush left, in italic letters(Table 2 continued). Omit the bottom rule on all pages except the last.Reduction. If the figure is a photograph or other image, consider reducing it. Consult yourlocal guidelines for information about resolution and related characteristics.Separate items. If none of the above solutions is appropriate, consider presenting the datain two or more separate tables or figures.Supplement. If the table or figure consists of material that cannot be presented in printform, such as a large data set or a multimedia file, treat it as an appendix, as described inA.2.3.26.1.3 Source LinesYou must acknowledge the sources of any data you use in tables and figures that you did notcollect yourself. You must do this even if you present the data in a new form—for example,you create a graph based on data originally published in a table, add fresh data to a table fromanother source, or combine data from multiple sources by meta-analysis.Treat a source line as a footnote to a table (see 26.2.7) or as part of a caption for a figure(see 26.3.2). Introduce the source line with the word Source(s) (capitalized, in italics,followed by a colon). If the source line runs onto more than one line, the runovers should beflush left, single-spaced. End a source line with a period.If you are following bibliography style for your citations, cite the source as in a full note(see chapter 16), including the original table or figure number or the page number from whichdata were taken. Unless you cite this source elsewhere in your paper, you need not include itin your bibliography.Source: Data from David Halle, Inside Culture: Art and Class in the American Home (Chicago: Universityof Chicago Press, 1993), table 2.
