I am working on the LaTeX overleaf. I am using the IEEE access template which is two column. I have to fix my table in a single column. I have to fix the table where its place. I have used \FloatBarrier for this. \FloatBarrier has fixed the table on its place but the table is covering the text. I have applied all the techniques like using Table*,!htbp, \FloatBarrier and many more. I will very thankful to solve this issue.
\FloatBarrier\begin{table}[!htbp]\caption{Car Database}\label{table:Car_DB}\begin{tabular}{ccccc}\toprule\textbf{Car\_ID} & \textbf{Car\_Name} & \textbf{Car\_Number} &\textbf{Owner\_Name} &\textbf{Owner\_ID} \\\midruleC1 &Suzuki Mehran &RIZ 3725 &Bilal Khalid &34512-4520645-5\\C2 &mazda &MN 3909 &Usman Bhatti &32103-9963008-2\\C2 &Toyotta Carolla &LEL 06 4520 &Ali Haider &12345-1529307-7\\\bottomrule\end{tabular}\end{table}

I'd suggest reducing the column headers since your \caption already mentions items will be related/represent cars. That is, remove the Car prefix. Then you can also reduce the \tabcolsep inserted between each column using
\setlength{\tabcolsep}{0.7\tabcolsep}The above command reduces \tabcolsep by 30%. Here's a display of the end result:
\documentclass{IEEEtran}\usepackage{lipsum,booktabs}\begin{document}\begin{table}\caption{Car Database}\begin{tabular}{ccccc}\toprule\textbf{Car\_ID} & \textbf{Car\_Name} & \textbf{Car\_Number} &\textbf{Owner\_Name} &\textbf{Owner\_ID} \\\midruleC1 & Suzuki Mehran & RIZ 3725 & Bilal Khalid & 34512-4520645-5 \\C2 & Mazda & MN 3909 & Usman Bhatti & 32103-9963008-2 \\C3 & Toyotta Carolla & LEL 06 4520 & Ali Haider & 12345-1529307-7 \\\bottomrule\end{tabular}\end{table}\begin{table}\caption{Car Database}\setlength{\tabcolsep}{0.7\tabcolsep}% Shrink \tabcolsep by 30%\centering\begin{tabular}{ *{5}{c} }\toprule\textbf{ID} & \textbf{Name} & \textbf{Number} & \textbf{Owner name} & \textbf{Owner ID} \\\midruleC1 & Suzuki Mehran & RIZ 3725 & Bilal Khalid & 34512-4520645-5 \\C2 & Mazda & MN 3909 & Usman Bhatti & 32103-9963008-2 \\C3 & Toyotta Carolla & LEL 06 4520 & Ali Haider & 12345-1529307-7 \\\bottomrule\end{tabular}\end{table}\sloppy % Just for this example\lipsum[1]\end{document}More options available from My table doesn't fit; what are my options?
