I designed this table for my presentation, but in some cells the text is aligned at the top and ooks bad. I want the text to be centered vertically but I do not know how. Thanks for the help.

MY code

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{report} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} %%para que salga la tilde en el idioma español \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \begin{document} \begin{table} \centering \caption{Drogas antituberculosas.} \begin{tabular}{|p{3cm}|p{3cm}|p{6cm}|} \hline % after \\: \hline or \cline{col1-col2} \cline{col3-col4} ... Tipo & Grupo & Fármacos \\ \hline Primera Línea & Grupo 1: Agentes de primera línea & Isoniacida (H), rifampicina (R), etambutol (E), pirazinamida (Z), estreptomicina (S). \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{Segunda Línea} & Grupo 2: Agentes inyectables & Kanamicina (Km), amikacina (Am), capreomicina (Cm). \\ \cline{2-3} & Grupo 3:Fluoroquinolonas & levofloxacina (Lfx), moxifloxacina (Mfx) \\ \cline{2-3} & Grupo 4: Agentes bacteriostáticos orales & etionamida (Eto), cicloserina (Cs), ácido para-amino salicílico (PAS) \\ \cline{2-3} & Grupo 5: Agentes con evidencia limitada & clofazimina (Cfz), linezolid (Lzd), amoxicilina/ clavulánico(Amx/Clv), meropenem (Mpm),imipenem/ cilastatina (Ipm/Cln), dosis altas de isoniacida, claritromicina (Clr), tioridazina (Tio) \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{table} \end{document}

  • instead p{...} for column type use m{...}. for it you should load package array. in your preamble also missing multirowpackage ... welcome to tex.se! Commented Jul 31, 2017 at 2:50
  • for centering content of multirow cell use \multirow{12}{*}{Segunda Línea} , i.e. it span 12 lines ... Commented Jul 31, 2017 at 2:59

aligned to the top looks bad? hm, matter of personal taste :)

please compare tables generated by the following mwe:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{report} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} %%para que salga la tilde en el idioma español \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{ragged2e} \usepackage{array, multirow} % for the first table \usepackage{booktabs,tabularx} % for the second table \newcolumntype{R}{>{\RaggedRight}X} \begin{document} \begin{table}[ht] \centering \caption{Drogas antituberculosas. (according to your taste)} \begin{tabular}{|m{3cm}|m{3cm}|>{\RaggedRight}m{6.3cm}|} \hline % after \\: \hline or \cline{col1-col2} \cline{col3-col4} ... Tipo & Grupo & Fármacos \\ \hline Primera Línea & Grupo 1: Agentes de primera línea & Isoniacida (H), rifampicina (R), etambutol (E), pirazinamida (Z), estreptomicina (S). \\ \hline \multirow{12}{*}{Segunda Línea} & Grupo 2: Agentes inyectables & Kanamicina (Km), amikacina (Am), capreomicina (Cm). \\ \cline{2-3} & Grupo 3:Fluoroquinolonas & levofloxacina (Lfx), moxifloxacina (Mfx) \\ \cline{2-3} & Grupo 4: Agentes bacteriostáticos orales & etionamida (Eto), cicloserina (Cs), ácido para-amino salicílico (PAS) \\ \cline{2-3} & Grupo 5: Agentes con evidencia limitada & clofazimina (Cfz), linezolid (Lzd), amoxicilina/ clavulánico(Amx/Clv), meropenem (Mpm),imipenem/ cilastatina (Ipm/Cln), dosis altas de isoniacida, claritromicina (Clr), tioridazina (Tio) \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{table} \begin{table}[ht] \centering \caption{Drogas antituberculosas.
