but the result is awful (as you can see the first cell in the second row is too wide and I don't know how to start a new line autmatically:

Here is a Minimum Working Example of the code I've used:

Code: Select all

Please read in a LaTeX introduction (e.g. in the linked one), which column types there are.

OT:

It is enough to load a package once.

Instead of using a big X to mark the cells, you could also use the \texttimes command or a symbol from the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List.
