If you've set a decimal tab in the entire column, you'll need to remove it
from the heading cell before center-aligning that cell.

Thank you. Yes and no
1) Yes, it aligns properly, but still ALL columns are decimal aligned; but
I
can remove the decimal alignment in these columns where I don't need it,
BUT
I have to do it cell by cell.
2) No, I still cannot centre align the header cell: Text is vanishing when
I
try to do it; clicking a second time on the centre alignment symbol will
bring back text - but in decimal align.
WordPerfect is in this instance easier. Regards

Gilbertaue,
Oh I see, maybe the normal style is updating automatically. Try this
click
in the paragraph just beneath your table, activate the styles and
formatting
task pane, click on the arrow next to the normal style, choose change,
see
way down under if there is a check against update automatically and
remove
if if so.
Now try again, does it work now?

Thank you, it is a question of alignment. The problem: I am able to
set
the
decimal tab. But as soon as I try to set a centre formatting in the
header
cell, the whole column behaves strangely, part of the entered decimal
values
are vanishing and the decimal tab is set in ALL columns. Any
suggestions,
please?

Gilbertaue,
The only way to achieve this is (I think) to insert formfields in
your
cells. Then you can set your 2 decimals.
If it is a matter of aligning numbers with decimals then you can use
a
decimal tab in the cells. Just select them and click on the exact
position
in the ruler, no need to tab to the position itself, Word will
automatically
apply the decimal tab.

How to format a whole column - but only one, not the whole table -
for
decimals (2)? The top cell shpuld be centered but the following
cells
in
the
very same column should be decimals. Thank you.
