Help! vertical alignment of text in table not working
Cannot get the text to center in a row vertically. I'm using Table Table
properties Cell Center. I've also tried using the Format Painter copying the format from another section in the report where it worked just fine. Any suggestions, previous experience with this? Thanks!! |

Answer: Help! vertical alignment of text in table not working
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the vertical alignment of text in your table. I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot this issue.
First, let's make sure that we're using the correct method to center the text vertically. In Microsoft Word, there are two ways to center text vertically in a table cell: using the "Center" option in the Table Properties dialog box, or using the "Align Center" button on the Table Tools Layout tab. Both methods should work, but let's try using the second method to see if it makes a difference. Here's how to center text vertically using the "Align Center" button:
If this doesn't work, there are a few other things we can try:
I hope these suggestions help you resolve the issue with vertical alignment of text in your table. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can do to assist you.

Are your paragraphs formatted with either spaces before or after them?

Help! vertical alignment of text in table not working
Doug, thanks for your response.
I don't see any spaces or added characters either prior to the row or inside the row. I think I may have tried using the Format Painter first though, before applying the centering using Table Properties. I wonder if the Format Painter added some characters. Would you know how I could tell that? Also in other table, I've noticed that adding graphics will move the text (once centered) up within the row. I'm not going to mess with this much longer though. Just irritates me. ) "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: Are your paragraphs formatted with either spaces before or after them? -- Hope this helps.

Go to Format Paragraph and make sure that Spacing Before and Spacing After
are both set to 0. -- Suzanne S.

Help! vertical alignment of text in table not working
Thank you for clarifying. My apology for not understanding Doug.
Here is what happened: Table 1: No graphics - the Space After showed 12 pt. When I highlighted the row and changed the After pt to 0, it reduced the row size which is not what I wanted. It is only after selecting the cell individually that I was able to change the 12 pt to 1 pt and retain the row size. Table 2: graphics - apparently the graphics are what pushes the text up. The Space Before & After are both 0 pt. Graphics are merely circles and arrows (using no fill). Unless you also have a way to work with the graphics and still keep the vertical centering, I will consider my post answered. Thank you both very much! "Suzanne S.
