I tried to use multicolumn to make the first row of the table centered and the rest follows the normal paragraph rule. Here's the code snippet:

However, I get the following errors in the line \end{tabularx}:
How do I remove those errors? I don't understand what the error is trying to say. Your help is much appreciated. Thank you!
{\hyphenpenalty=20\exhyphenpenalty=20}you placed right after the column specification. Why do you put those there? In a tabular,\hlinemust start the row and cannot have anything in front of it. – Willie Wong Feb 01 '24 at 06:29\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\textbf{Fiber Strand Size}} (mm)should probably be\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\textbf{Fiber Strand Size} (mm)}instead; currently you are generating a spurious column. – Willie Wong Feb 01 '24 at 06:30ccolumn type on the header cells, thereby disabling automatic linebreaking. As a result, the table ends up being much wider than\linewidth. Moreover, since you don't use a single instance of anX-type column, the chances that table's overall width will be equal to the target width are virtually zero. – Mico Feb 01 '24 at 06:59\textbf{Alpha\-numeric Code}but no dice. – Kenneth Ligutom Feb 01 '24 at 07:27ccolumn type for the header cells. – Mico Feb 01 '24 at 07:29\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.pdf,.jpeg,.jpg,.png}? If not I would suggest to remove it, because it does not only change the search order but also remove several extensions supported by pdfTeX (or LuaTeX and even more for, e.g., XeTeX). – cabohah Feb 01 '24 at 07:49\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}does nothing in any latex since 2016,\usepackage{lscape}does nothing as you have loadedpdflscape. better to usetxfontsfor a times roman clone thanmathptmxunless you need fonts in a 1990's postscript printer. why not simply\usepackage{microtype}? you are asking for adjustments to letters to avoid stretching white space, but then have\sloppy\emergencystretch=\maxdimenallowing unlimited white space – David Carlisle Feb 01 '24 at 08:56newtxtextandnewtxmathinsteas ofmathptmx.

Instead, they appear to be related to unresolved cross-references. Two questions: (a) Did you verify that there are no typos in the document's\labeland\refdirectives? (b) Did you run LaTeX at least twice (and not delete several important aux files between runs)? – Mico Feb 04 '24 at 16:32\labeland\refof the the varietyfig:Architectures of Mask R-CNN, Keypoint R-CNN, and FibeR-CNN?
