text alignement in cells - table - Word 2007
I am currently having a problem with trying to get the text to align central
to the cell (with equal space above and below the text) . . . no matter where I ask the alignement to be placed the text it is always at the top of the cell, I can get it centred in the box, left or right but it stays at the top of the cell . . . I have the paragraph marks and other hidden formatting symbols on view and no extra spaces have crept in so I am at a loss as to know what is wrong. Any help greatly appreciated. |

text alignement in cells - table - Word 2007
Under the Table menu (or whatever the 2007 name for this is - Group?) is
there not an option to align vertically for the cells? It used to be a group of nine icons covering all variants. Also I would check the space after Paragraph attribute as the text may have a very large spacing that is affecting the alignment.

text alignment in cells - table - Word 2007
With the cursor in the table, the Table Tools (Design and Layout) ribbon
options are shown. Select the Layout ribbon and there's a section for Alignment. You need one of the vertical Centre options depending whether you want Left, Right or Centred line of text. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "DeanH" wrote in message ...

text alignement in cells - table - Word 2007
Thank you DeanH !
Of course... you hit upon the problem with the paragraph spacing ! I was getting too hung up on problems with Word 2007 rather than thinking about likely causes (same as would happen in 2003) However to overcome the problem before a solution was offered I just used the format painter from an earlier table .
