“misplaced omit” error when >{centering} columns

First of all, I have looked at every other misplaced omit... error question about tables I have found on this site and none of them quite relate to my situation. This is the closest I could find, but it does not quite fit my application the solution relates to using tabularnewline vs \ in cells which I am not using.

---

I am attempting to make a table which looks almost like this:

The above example was generated from the following.

documentclass{article}

usepackage{array}



begin{document}

begin{table}

begin{tabular}{m{1in}m{1in}m{1in}}

cline{1-1}

multicolumn{1}{|m{1in}|}{textbf{Caption}} & cell of muliline text to wrap & cell of muliline text to wrap \ cline{1-2}

multicolumn{1}{m{1in}|}{cell of muliline text to wrap} & multicolumn{1}{m{1in}|}{textbf{Caption}} & cell of muliline text to wrap \ cline{2-3} 

cell of muliline text to wrap & multicolumn{1}{m{1in}|}{cell of muliline text to wrap} & multicolumn{1}{m{1in}|}{textbf{Caption}} \ cline{3-3} 

end{tabular}

end{table}

end{document}

However, I would like the columns to be centered instead of justified. I would normally do this by replacing all instances of m{1in} with >{centering}m{1in}. But when I do this I get the following error.

! misplaced omit.@cline #1-#2@nil -> ...

How do I reproduce the above table format but with centered columns?

  Use >{centeringarraybackslash}m{1in} in the last column, or end every row with tabularnewline instead of \ .

begin{table}

begin{tabular}{*{3}{>{centeringarraybackslash}m{1in}}}

cline{1-1}

multicolumn{1}{|m{1in}|}{textbf{Caption}} & cell of muliline text to wrap & cell of muliline text to wrap \ cline{1-2}

multicolumn{1}{m{1in}|}{cell of muliline text to wrap} & multicolumn{1}{m{1in}|}{textbf{Caption}} & cell of muliline text to wrap \ cline{2-3}

end{tabular}

end{table}

end{document}

within the scope of centering, \ is redefined to make a centred forced line break, so no longer has its "end table row" definition. You can either use arraybackslash to re-assert the table definition of \ or you could use tabularnewline instead of \ which is a longer form provided that always refers to the end of table row.
