 If any of the spanned rows are unusually large, or if you're using

 the spanned rows, the vertical centering may not come out right.  Use the

 Just before "text" is expanded, the \multirowsetup macro is expanded to      
 set up any special environment.  Initially, \multirowsetup contains just
 \raggedright.  It can be redefined with \renewcommand.

-Bugs:  It's just about impossible to deal correctly with descenders.  The
-text will be set up centered, but it may then have a baseline that doesn't
-match the baseline of the stuff beside it, in particular if the stuff
-beside it has descenders and "text" does not.  This may result in a small
-missalignment.  About all that can be done is to do a final touchup on
-"text", using the fixup optional argument.  (Hint:  If you use a measure
-like .1ex, there's a reasonable chance that the fixup will still be correct
-if you change the point size.)

-\multirow is mainly designed for use with table, as opposed to array,
-environments.  It will not work well in an array environment since the lines
-have an extra \jot of space between them which it won't account for.  Fixing
-this is difficult in general, and doesn't seem worth it.  The bigstruts
-argument can be used to provide a semi-automatic fix:  First set
-\bigstrutjot to .5\jot.  Then simply repeat nrows as the bigstruts argument.
-This will be close, but probably not exact; you can use the fixup argument
-to refine the result.  (If you do this repeatedly, you'll probably want to
-wrap these steps up in a simple macro.  Note that the modified \bigstrutjot
-value will not give reasonable results if you have bigstruts and use this
-argument for its intended purpose elsewhere.  In that case, you might want 
-to set it locally.)
-
-If you use \multirow with the colortbl package you have to take
-precautions if you want to color the column that has the \multirow in it.
-colortbl works by coloring each cell separately. So if you use \multirow
-with a positive nrows value, colortbl will first color the top cell, then
-\multirow will typeset nrows cells starting with this cell, and later
-colortbl will color the other cells, effectively hiding the text in that
-area. This can be solved by putting the \multirow is the last row with a
-negative nrows value.
-Example:
-
- \begin{tabular}{l>{\columncolor{yellow}}l}
-   aaaa & \\
-   cccc & \\
-   dddd & \multirow{-3}*{bbbb}\\
- \end{tabular}
