I copied the table I attempted to make below (with the Word doc attached, it's the last table). I keep getting alignment errors. I'm sure the problem is easy, but I am not 100% sure that I'm doing this right.<br>

</div>The \multirow macro using * sets each entry to its natural width. You can force this to something different. In a Terminal window, type texdoc multirow to see the options.<br>
<br>
Try this:<br>
<div class="im"><br>
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline<br>
Section&Introduction&Exposition&Développement\\ \hline<br>
</div>\multirow{3}{*}{Musique} &&{||: 1T\hspace{.4in}Tr\hspace{.4in}2T\hspace{.4in}TC:||}&\\<br>
&&&e,a,b,d\\<br>
&& {a b c\hspace{.5in}a, b\hspace{.3in}a'\hspace{.3in}d\hspace{.2in}e\hspace{.1in}}&\\ \hline<br>
<div class="im">Tonalité& Sol majeur& {Sol M\hspace{.6in}mod.\hspace{.4in}Ré M\hspace{.3in}}&mod.\\ \hline<br>
</div>Mesures&1&\hbox to2.3in{21\hfil25\hfil33\hfil41\hfil57\hfil61\hfil72}&83\\ \hline<br>
\end{tabular}<br>
