Tengo un documento con 3 tablas. Las tablas se ven muy bien, pero tengo un problema: ¡son demasiado altas y se superponen a la nota al pie!
Intenté reducir el tamaño de las letras dentro de la tabla, pero no funciona y no puedo cambiar el tamaño de fuente del documento (debe ser 12 puntos).
¿Cómo puedo arreglar esto?
Aquí hay un MWE:

Utilice una fuente más pequeña y NO PONGA LA ETIQUETA ANTES DEL TÍTULO :-)
También .45\textwidthes demasiado estrecho para su título, se cambió a .46 y se agregó tanto \extrarowheightcomo cabía en la página, y \bigskipantes de la última tabla.
