Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ multirow | Unexpected Errors

[nifty]

I am working with an author's file and he is using the multirow package. Here is a clip

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{multirow}
\begin{document}

\begin{table}[!h]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{r|cccccccccc}
{\bf Brand} & \multicolumn{ 10}{c}{{\bf Number of Things}} \\
\hline
\multirow{2}{1.6pc}{\bf A} & 28 & 19 & 23 & 19 & 17 & 23 & 24 & 25 & 23 & 27 \\
  & 18 & 16 & 24 & 23 & 20 & 24 & 24 & 20 & 24 & 23 \\
\hline
\multirow{2}{1.6pc}{\bf B} & 27 & 28 & 18 & 20 & 30 & 24 & 21 & 23 & 27 & 24 \\
  & 30 & 23 & 22 & 25 & 17 & 18 & 22 & 25 & 29 & 30 \\
\end{tabular}\caption{Caption}
\end{table}


\end{document}

When I compile it--using Textures--I am getting errors:

Code: Select all

! Undefined control sequence.

                                \setbox 0\hbox {\vtop to \@te...

                                & 28 & 19 & 23 & 19 & 17 & 23...
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted).
<to be read again> 
                   \setbox 
l.10 \multirow{2}{1.6pc}{\bf A}
                                & 28 & 19 & 23 & 19 & 17 & 23...
Dimensions can be in units of em, ex, in, pt, pc,
cm, mm, dd, cc, bp, or sp; but yours is a new one!
I'll assume that you meant to say pt, for printer's points.
To recover gracefully from this error, it's best to
delete the erroneous units; e.g., type `2' to delete
two letters. (See Chapter 27 of The TeXbook.)

! Undefined control sequence.

and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

but it looks correct in pages. Can anyone tell what is wrong? Here's a screenshot that looks okay.

The given example works fine for me. Perhaps an outdated multirow package?

By the way, you should replace the old LaTeX2.09 syntax \bf by the current LaTeX2e syntax \textbf{…} for short text and the \bfseries declaration for longer text passages.

Thanks. That was it. I thought I had pulled the latest version down but I guess not. It works fine now.
