Well, there is a code which shows the issue. I guess xana is interested in making the height of rows 2–4, those containing numbers 1–6, variable (something like tabulary for columns), so that they stretch vertically to match the height of the cell containing the text "ABCABCABC...x10".

[...] Can you please tell me what is missing in my code? [...]

The essential parts that make it a minimal working example (MWE) as described in the topic I linked in my first reply to your request. You don't have to bother about the language. This point will be clarified by a full example.

I was thinking, maybe redefining \arraystretch solves the problem, at least partially? For infos about this, xana, take a look here.

And here's an example using your first posted code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{multirow}

\begin{document}

\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.8}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
A&B&C\\
\hline
1&2&\multirow{3}{*}{\parbox{6cm}{ABCABCABC ABCABCABC ABCABCABC ABCABCABC ABCABCABC ABCABCABC ABCABCABC ABCABCABC ABCABCABC ABCABCABC}}\\\cline{1-2}
3&4&\\\cline{1-2}
5&6&\\\cline{1-2}
\hline
\end{tabular}

\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{2.4}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
A&B&C\\
\hline
1&2&\multirow{3}{*}{\parbox{6cm}{ABCABCABC ABCABCABC ABCABCABC ABCABCABC ABCABCABC ABCABCABC ABCABCABC ABCABCABC ABCABCABC ABCABCABC}}\\\cline{1-2}
3&4&\\\cline{1-2}
5&6&\\\cline{1-2}
\hline
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

Of course, you'll still have to do manual work setting \arraystretch. Maybe after you provide a full MWE localghost suggests a better solution.

Thank you for all the suggestions.

I already resolve my problem.

I simply added space between the rows and playe with this space.

Code: Select all

\\[12ex]\hline

I managed to align the table correctly .

Best regards

Hello again.

I wanted to itemize sentences in the table. A introduced the following code and the result is that from the example figure.

But i want that the space before the item is smaller and the text to be justified so that it fits right into the cell. How can i do that regarding the code that i posted bellow?

Best regards

Code: Select all
