I am using IEEE template for my paper writing. Now i want to insert a table which is 11x12. So it needs to stretch to the two columns format in the IEEE format. I did like this:
\documentclass[conference] \setlength \begin \caption \label \begin<|*<12>|>> \hline labels & airplane & automobile & bird & cat & deer & dog & frog & horse & ship & truck & accuracy \\ \hline airplane & 915 & 4 & 17 & 19 & 3 & 1 & 0 & 2 & 27 & 12 & 91.50\% \\ \hline automobile & 8 & 934 & 3 & 4 & 0 & 0 & 3 & 0 & 10 & 38 & 93.40\% \\ \hline bird & 60 & 1 & 813 & 37 & 19 & 23 & 30 & 10 & 7 & 0 & 81.30\% \\ \hline cat & 18 & 1 & 34 & 746 & 25 & 113 & 37 & 18 & 8 & 0 & 74.60\% \\ \hline deer & 24 & 1 & 38 & 33 & 809 & 19 & 44 & 29 & 2 & 1 & 80.90\% \\ \hline dog & 4 & 0 & 37 & 106 & 23 & 792 & 9 & 26 & 2 & 1 & 79.20\% \\ \hline frog & 2 & 5 & 19 & 35 & 1 & 20 & 912 & 2 & 3 & 1 & 91.20\% \\ \hline horse & 14 & 0 & 26 & 20 & 18 & 28 & 4 & 886 & 3 & 1 & 88.60\% \\ \hline ship & 35 & 10 & 3 & 2 & 0 & 2 & 1 & 0 & 936 & 11 & 93.60\% \\ \hline truck & 23 & 37 & 4 & 10 & 1 & 2 & 2 & 0 & 15 & 906 & 90.60\% \\ \hline \end \end
and the output is: The problem is that the caption is not centering between the two columns. How to do that?? How to center the table automatically between the two columns of IEEE format??

Commented Apr 20, 2016 at 20:09You need to use a table* environment instead of a table environment, to allow the tabular-like environment to span the width of both columns or, put differently, the full width of the text block.
In addition, you need to do something to assure that the overall width of the tabular-like environment indeed equals \textwidth . You may do this with either a tabualarx or a tabular* environment. For the table at hand, I would recommend you employ a tabularx environment, as it'll make it straightforward to equal widths to the data columns. I further suggest you define and employ a centered version of the X column type for columns 2 thru 11. Finally, I suggest you use the l column type for the first column and the c column type for the final column. (If you really want to left-align the contents of all cells, use the X column type for columns 2 thru 12.)
Oh, and do try to give your table a more "open" look by, say, getting rid of all vertical lines and most horizontal lines and by generating well-spaced horizontal rules with the help of the booktabs package.
