If what you want is to  vertically centralize one cell  with 
respect to three cells on the right, use the pakage "multirow" and the 
command "\multirow" as specified in the documentation. To centralize the 
text in this cell horizontally, use the command 

	\renewcommand{\multirowsetup}{\centering}

No need to be apologetic. One of the purposes of this list is to help 
beginners. But do keep Kapil's advice in mind :)
