I am trying to make a simple table in LaTeX following some tutorials but I am getting an extra column/row after the last row? Why is this? Any help would be highly appreciated :)

\documentclass[]{article}

\begin{document}

\title{Title}
\author{Author}
\date{\today}
\maketitle


\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{| c | c | c | c |} \hline
Date & Reasons for review & Changes & Version \\ \hline
yy/xx/2012 & First edition & - & 1.0 \\ \hline
yy/xx/2012 & Something added & Section 5 & 1.01 \\ \hline
yy/xx/2012 & More things & Section n & 1.02 \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\end{document}

enter image description here

You've got some extra white space in the last row. Remove the white space in front of \end{tabular} and you'll be set. – A.Ellett Jan 4 at 2:02
Thanks! Could you put this as an answer? :) So I can put the check mark – nacho4d Jan 4 at 2:05
How does one end up with OBJECT REPLACEMENT CHARACTER in their source? (It’s twice in front of \end{tabular} and four times in front of the actual last row.) – Qrrbrbirlbel Jan 4 at 2:15
@Qrrbrbirlbel, how'd you figure out what that character was? I only knew it wasn't ascii. – A.Ellett Jan 4 at 2:19
@A.Ellett copy/paste worked for me :) – percusse Jan 4 at 2:35

You've got some kind of foreign white space in the last row---probably some non-ascii character that's showing up as white space---which is making LaTeX think there is a new row. Eliminate it and your table should look like what you want.
