I have a table as below that doesn't format properly through pdfLaTeX. Specifically, the vertical lines for each row don't extend all the way down to create a complete box. Is there a better way to do this? The code is below.
\begin{table}[!ht]
\fontsize{12}{12}\selectfont
\caption{Caption.}\label{label}
\center{
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
&a&b&c&d\\
\hline
&e&f&g&h\\
\hline
&i&j&k&l\\
\end{tabular}
}
\end{table}

Summarizing the comments made above, you should consider using the following code to create the sample 3 by 4 table:
I trust you are working your way toward creating somewhat more exciting tables than the one above. When you do, you should aim for an open, "breathing" look -- rather than one dominated by lots and lots of little "jail cells" that imprison the data. A great place to start this quest is the user guide of the
booktabs
package; it provides a wonderful guide to open, interesting, and clean-looking tables.
