I have a table with two columns and 12 rows.
I require the table to appear on the left hand side of the page (which I can do), however, the caption is centered on the page.
I would like to place the caption underneath the table, and have it centered underneath the table.
The output is shown below.enter image description here

          Here is a way (since you already want [H] option and have loaded the caption package I suppose it will be ok for you):

            You probably need a noindent instruction immediately before beginminipage.

          • @Mico, I thought something like adding a second table after that (with hfill in between). So, this is not probably for me... And I think that a centered caption under the table seems better and could be preferred as far as my taste let me decide. But thanks anyway.

          • Sorry for not being sufficiently clear: The purpose of the noindent directive would be to make the caption material start at the left-hand edge of the text block. (Right now, the minipage is shifted to the right by the non-zero value of parindent.

          Since the tabular material must be typeset flush-left (aka ragged-right), I think the caption would look better if it, too, where set flush-left. (However, see below for a different solution.) One can achieve this formatting objective by loading the caption package with the options singlelinecheck=false and justification=raggedright.



          enter image description here



          documentclass[12pt,english]article
          usepackagearray,caption
          captionsetupsinglelinecheck=false,justification=raggedright
          begindocument
          begintable[ht!]
          begintabular
          hline
          Year & Population (millions)\ hline
          $1900$ & $1650$\
          $1910$ & $1750$\
          $1920$ & $1860$\
          $1930$ & $2070$\
          $1940$ & $2300$\
          $1950$ & $2560$\
          $1960$ & $3040$\
          $1970$ & $3710$\
          $1980$ & $4450$\
          $1990$ & $5280$\
          $2000$ & $6070$\
          hline
          endtabular
          captionWorld Populationlabeltable1
          endtable
          enddocument



          Alternatively, if the caption must be centered below the tabular material and the tabular material must be typeset flush-left, I suggest you (a) run captionsetupjustification=centering, (b) load the threeparttable package, and (c) encase both the tabular environment and the caption statement in a threeparttable environment. This setup allows LaTeX to measure the width of the tabular material and to center the caption below the tabular; if needed, LaTeX will automatically insert line breaks in the caption. This behavior is shown in the following screenshot.

            Here is a way (since you already want [H] option and have loaded the caption package I suppose it will be ok for you):



            documentclass[12pt,english]article
            usepackagecaption
            usepackagearray
            begindocument
            % A noindent is possibly needed here as @Mico suggested in his comment
            noindentbeginminipage0.35textwidth

            begintabular

              You probably need a noindent instruction immediately before beginminipage.

            • @Mico, I thought something like adding a second table after that (with hfill in between). So, this is not probably for me... And I think that a centered caption under the table seems better and could be preferred as far as my taste let me decide. But thanks anyway.

            • Sorry for not being sufficiently clear: The purpose of the noindent directive would be to make the caption material start at the left-hand edge of the text block. (Right now, the minipage is shifted to the right by the non-zero value of parindent.

              Ok... you are right... Snce there is no text in there I didn't really payed attention on that and supposed that the part from the minipage and after could just be copy pasted and adjusted.... Thanks for mentioning... I will edit.

            Since the tabular material must be typeset flush-left (aka ragged-right), I think the caption would look better if it, too, where set flush-left. (However, see below for a different solution.) One can achieve this formatting objective by loading the caption package with the options singlelinecheck=false and justification=raggedright.



            enter image description here



            documentclass[12pt,english]article
            usepackagearray,caption
            captionsetupsinglelinecheck=false,justification=raggedright
            begindocument
            begintable[ht!]
            begintabular
            hline
            Year & Population (millions)\ hline
            $1900$ & $1650$\
            $1910$ & $1750$\
            $1920$ & $1860$\
            $1930$ & $2070$\
            $1940$ & $2300$\
            $1950$ & $2560$\
            $1960$ & $3040$\
            $1970$ & $3710$\
            $1980$ & $4450$\
            $1990$ & $5280$\
            $2000$ & $6070$\
            hline
            endtabular
            captionWorld Populationlabeltable1
            endtable
            enddocument



            Alternatively, if the caption must be centered below the tabular material and the tabular material must be typeset flush-left, I suggest you (a) run captionsetupjustification=centering, (b) load the threeparttable package, and (c) encase both the tabular environment and the caption statement in a threeparttable environment. This setup allows LaTeX to measure the width of the tabular material and to center the caption below the tabular; if needed, LaTeX will automatically insert line breaks in the caption. This behavior is shown in the following screenshot.

                endtable
                enddocument



                Alternatively, if the caption must be centered below the tabular material and the tabular material must be typeset flush-left, I suggest you (a) run captionsetupjustification=centering, (b) load the threeparttable package, and (c) encase both the tabular environment and the caption statement in a threeparttable environment. This setup allows LaTeX to measure the width of the tabular material and to center the caption below the tabular; if needed, LaTeX will automatically insert line breaks in the caption. This behavior is shown in the following screenshot.
