I want to have tables with numbers so I can say "table 1 shows".. Can you please help?
Example:
\documentclass[table,dvipsnames]{beamer}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
% \usepackage{beamerthemesplit} // Activate for custom appearance
\usetheme{Berlin}
\useoutertheme{infolines}
\useinnertheme{circles}
\usecolortheme{dolphin}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\begin{document}
\frame{%
\frametitle{Calibration}
\begin{center}
\captionof{table}{Parameter values} % title of Table
\label{table:parametersone}
\setlength{\tabcolsep}{0.3pt}
\small
\scalebox{.65}{\begin{tabular}{l c l c p{8.5cm} } % centered columns (4 columns)
\hline %inserts double horizontal lines
\\
Parameter &\phantom{.} & Value & \phantom{.} & Description \\[1.0ex] % inserts table
%heading
\hline % inserts single horizontal line
\\
$\beta$ &\phantom{.} & 0.97 &\phantom{.} & Yearly discount factor \\ % inserting body of the table
$\alpha$ &\phantom{.} & 0.60 &\phantom{.} & Output elasticity of labor \\
$\gamma$ &\phantom{.} & 0.10 &\phantom{.} & Output elasticity of public capital \\
$\theta$ &\phantom{.} & 2.68 &\phantom{.} & \parbox{10cm}{Multiplicative factor in the \\
human capital technology} \\
$\psi$ &\phantom{.} & 0.80 &\phantom{.} & Parental altruism \\
$\sigma$ &\phantom{.} & 0.63 &\phantom{.} & \parbox{12cm}{Exponent on parental human capital} \\
$\phi$ &\phantom{.} & 0.30 &\phantom{.} & \parbox{12cm}{Elasticity of the fraction of time during first \\
period spent in school} \\
$\eta$ &\phantom{.} & 0.10 &\phantom{.} & \parbox{12cm}{Elasticity on public education expenditures} \\
$\underbar{h}$ &\phantom{.} & 2.30 &\phantom{.} & Constant\\
$\lambda$ &\phantom{.} & 5.00 &\phantom{.} & \parbox{10cm}{Relative weight of adult labor in production} \\
$r$ &\phantom{.} &5.0\% &\phantom{.} & Interest rate \\
$\delta_G$ &\phantom{.} & 2.5\% &\phantom{.} & Yearly depreciation rate of public capital\\ % [1ex] adds vertical space
\hline %inserts single line
\end{tabular}}
\end{center}}
