Hi, Andrey. I continued to study the tables and in the end I came to a simplified version but that satisfies me. I would like your opinion and suggestions. I have privileged the practical side of reading over the aesthetics. When I have finished entering the data I will provide the sample pdf, so that everyone can give suggestions to improve the aesthetics. For now I leave this scheme if it suits you. \begin{center} \small \begin{longtable}{ >{\bfseries}c l l p{6cm}} %\caption{Main menu pulldowns} %\label{tabular:main_menu} \\ \toprule \multirow{2}*{MAIN} & 01/19/2019 & update & \\ \noalign{\smallskip} \cline{2-4} \noalign{\smallskip} (Pulldowns) & ITEMS & SHORTCUTS & DESCRIPTION\\ \hline \hline \endhead % here the common page header File & xxxxx1 & yyyyyy1 & zzzzz1 \\ \midrule & xxxxx2 & yyyyyy2 & zzzzz2 \\ \midrule & xxxxx3 & yyyyyy3 & zzzzz3 \\ \bottomrule \end{longtable} \end{center}
