Hello everyone
I am trying to create a tabular table for Latex. In my table, I have quotes in each column, so they are very long and wrap around each column. for this reason, I use p{xxcm}, rather than c,r,or l in the architecture for the tabular.
However, I am having a problem. When I use the \\ new line character, a hole is created in the vertical line. I have attached a picture that shows what happens (note that this is just one row in the tabular, not the entire thing).
How can I fix it so I can add a blank line between items #1 and #2, but get rid of those pesky vertical blanks?
The code I have used to create this row in the tablular follows:
----------------------------
\begin{tabular}{|p{3cm}|p{6cm}|p{6cm}|}
\hline
...other rows
%BEGIN KURTZ
\parbox[c]{2cm}{} & \parbox[c]{4.3cm}{} & \parbox[c]{4.3cm}{} \\
Kurtz & 1.~~``This is Kurtz's first quote and it is very long winded and rather boring, seriosly'' & 1.~~``And his first Analysis'' \\
\cr & 2.~~``I must say i am rather annoyed that it works for the second row but not for the first. Please, God, tell me why.&2.~~Seriously \\
\hline
...other rows
\end{tabular}
------------------------------------
Thank you very much for your help.
