Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Extended vertical Lines in Table

[gloednieuw]

Hi,

Since a few days I've been trying to write my thesis in Latex. However, when inserting tables, the vertical lines of my table extend beyond the table through my text. How do I resolve this?

This is the code for a typical table:

Code: Select all

\begin{tabular}{|rrl||c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline
\multicolumn{3}{|c||}{[540]} & {\sc */500/} & {\sc */540/} & {\sc */560/} & {\sc */520/} & {\sc *W(20)} & {\sc *W(40)} & {\sc *W(60)} \\ \hline\hline
\LCC
& &  & &\lightgray &\lightgray &\lightgray &\lightgray &\lightgray &\lightgray \\ \hline
  &  & {/500/} & *! &  &  &  &  & * & \\ \hline
\ECC
\LCC
& &  &  &  & &\lightgray &\lightgray &\lightgray &\lightgray \\ \hline
  & \ding{43} & {/520/} &  &  &  & * & * &  & \\ \hline
\ECC
\LCC
& &  &  & &\lightgray &\lightgray &\lightgray &\lightgray &\lightgray \\ \hline
  &  & {/540/} &  & *! &  &  &  &  & \\ \hline
\ECC
\LCC
& &  &  &  & &\lightgray &\lightgray &\lightgray &\lightgray \\ \hline
  &  & {/560/} &  &  & *! &  & * &  & \\ \hline
\ECC
\end{tabular}

This is what it looks like.

I'm getting pretty desperate, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please do always prepare a self-contained minimal working example. It is easier for us to help you.

For example, I don't know, where the command \ECC and similar are from.

You also might want to take a look at the booktabs package.

Thanks for your advice. I decided to remove all packages and then add them one by one, which showed that I could easily get rid of a few. Even better, the lining is now back to normal! Thanks again, and at least now I know how to solve things myself.

Just for the other users comming here by a google link:
You could post your anwser showing everybody how to do it. It's not necesary but really appreciated.
