multirow | Missing Border in Table

Post by Paul Richards »

I have a LyX document with a table in it and some of the cells are combined using multirow. It looks OK in LyX but doesn't render properly in the PDF. Some of the borders are missing. There is a horizontal border missing in each of columns 2, 3 and 5. Can anyone advise how to show these missing borders, please?

Has nobody got any ideas on this?

I am really surprised as I'd have thought it would be a common problem. I'm creating more tables with multirow and the problem keeps cropping up. If I don't get a reply I'm going to have to use LaTeX code to create my tables, which is a complete pain!

multirow | Missing Border in Table

Hello,

I've just had the same kind of problem - and in my case I've solved it.. Count your ampersands on each table line. You must include all cells including the one that is spanned. If you omit an ampersand, border would not be drawn since the corresponding cell wouldn't be drawn..

Hope this helps..
