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:

1. Click inside the cell that you want to center the text in.
2. Go to the Table Tools Layout tab.
3. Click the "Align Center" button in the Alignment group.

If this doesn't work, there are a few other things we can try:

1. Check the row height: If the row height is too small, the text may not be able to center vertically. Try increasing the row height by dragging the bottom border of the row downward.
2. Check the font size: If the font size is too large, the text may not be able to center vertically. Try decreasing the font size to see if that helps.
3. Check for merged cells: If the cell you're trying to center text in is part of a merged cell, the vertical alignment may not work as expected. Try unmerging the cells and see if that helps.

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.
