How to center multirow text in a table?
I’d appreciate advise in centering a multirow text. In the MWE below the multirow text “spring” is NOT centered over the three rows that it spans.

When to use p {…} columns in multirow?
It is not clear why you are using p {…} columns if the cells are not containing paragraphs. As a side note, I used \\centering instead of the center environment to avoid adding extra vertical spacing (which in most cases is not desired).
Can you compile a table separately in multirow?
I can compile this table separately but when I want to compile the whole file, it gives me an error, which is fixed by removing \\multirow.
How to avoid vertical lines when combining multirow and multicolumn?
When combining multirow and multicolumn in the same cell of a table I am getting extra vertical lines: Notice the vertical lines in the char literals and string literals cells (which should span three columns). How can they be avoided? You have to use \\multicolumn {3} {|l|} {} in the following rows also.
How to merge cells vertically and horizontally in multirow?

That means that vertically, you count the number of logical row and not the number of physical lines as with multirow.
Is the first cell in a multirow table vertical?
The documentation for the multirow package implies that the content of a \\multirowwill be vertically centered by default. In this example (machine-generated from a Word document, hence all the poodlefaking): in the first row, the first cell spans 3 rows, and the other cells are just cells;
Is there a way to correct vertical alignment in multirow?
From my experience multirow is not capable of a correct vertical alignment, if it spans multi-line cells. You can, however, adjust the alignment manually using the fixup -parameter:
