Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{llllll}
  \cline{1-6} % hor. line from column 1 to 6 (same as an \hline)
  column1a & column2a & column3a & column4a & column5a & column6a \\
  \cline{1-1}\cline{3-5} % hor. lines: at column one and from column 3 to 5
  column1b & column2b & column3b & column4b & column5b & column6b \\
  \cline{2-4}\cline{6-6} % hor. lines: from column 2 to 4 and at column 6
  column1c & column2c & column3c & column4c & column5c & column6c \\
  \hline
\end{tabular}

\end{document}
\cline (and \hline) can only be used after the format declaration of the table and after the line change command \\.
That makes perfect sense now. I was putting the \cline command before the line change, and not getting anything different.

Thanks again. :)
