In this case, setting the optional length argument to a negative number [0pt-\heightof{X}] moves the top edge of the main argument (the image) above the baseline (in this case by the height of the letter "X"). Recall, in the other columns, the baseline is at the bottom edge of the "ABC" and "XYZ". Therefore, if I had set the pictures 0pt below the baseline, the tops of the images would align with the bottom of the "ABC" and "XYZ". Note that my above comments apply to what are denoted as "short" stacks, which are the default stacktype for stackengine. "Long" stacks will behave differently (see package documentation for details). \documentclass[11pt,table,a4paper]{article} \usepackage{array,ragged2e} \usepackage[demo]{graphicx} \usepackage[top=2cm, bottom=3cm,right=1cm, left=1cm, headsep=26pt]{geometry} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{fancyhdr} \usepackage[table]{xcolor} \usepackage{sidecap} \usepackage{longtable} \usepackage{helvet} \usepackage{stackengine} \renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault} \begin{document} % End of preamble and beginning of text. \arrayrulecolor{gray} \begin{center} \newcolumntype{M}[1]{>{\arraybackslash}p{#1}} \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{2.0}\begin{longtable}{M{5cm}|M{6cm}|M{6cm}} \hline \rowcolor{gray} \textbf{ Col1} & \textbf{Col2} & \textbf{Col3} \\ \hline \vspace{0pt} \large{ABC} & \belowbaseline[0pt-\heightof{X}]{% \includegraphics[width=0.15\textwidth]{Europe_regions.png}% } \hspace{.1cm}% \belowbaseline[0pt-\heightof{X}]{% \includegraphics[width=0.15\textwidth]{male-female.png} } & \vspace{0pt} XYZ. \\ \hline \end{longtable} \end{center} \end{document} % End of document. enter image description here shareimprove this answer edited Jul 17 '13 at 10:20 answered Jul 17 '13 at 10:07 Steven B.

The 'm' is the magic flag for vertical centering. I'll have to think more about your big-image/little-image problem. posted by gleuschk at 11:25 AM on April 18, 2007 Hacky solution to the big-image/little-image problem: nest tables. Put the two images in a table, each at the bottom of its cell, then wrap that in a second one-cell table with its content vertically aligned. posted by gleuschk at 11:28 AM on April 18, 2007 # enddoc
