In order to create a table: columns col1 col2 +-----------+----------+ | Low xxx | Low xxx | Row1 | | | | Low yyy | High yyy | Rows +-----------+----------+ | High xxx | High xxx | Row2 | | | | Low yyy | High yyy | +-----------+----------+ I have used the following: \begin{tabular}{r@{}c@{}c@{}c@{}} & & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Columns} \\ & & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Col1} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Col2} \\ Rows & \begin{tabular}{r} Row1 \\ \\ Row2 \\ \end{tabular} & % <---***--- \begin{tabular}{@{}|c|@{}} \hline Low xxx \\ Low yyy \\ \hline High xxx \\ Low yyy \\ \hline \end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{@{}|c|@{}} \hline Low xxx \\ High yyy \\ \hline High xxx \\ High yyy \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{tabular} Especially I don't like the line marked by <---***---. In this specific table, to place `Row1' and `Row2' at proper places, I put an empty line between them. However, in: +------+------+ Row1 | 1 | 2 | +------+------+ Row2 | 3 | 4 | +------+------+ if the number of lines in 1 is different from the number of lines in 2, it's even harder to place `Row1' and `Row2' at proper places. Any words of wisdom??? Thanks in advance. Young (young@emx.utexas.edu) at the Univ. of Texas at Austin
