Table alignment in Word 2007
I have created a Table with 5 columns and 16 rows. Cell alignment in all
cells is Centered horizonally. I have copied this format into several Word Documents. My problem; In Column 1, Rows 9 & 11 cells are showing as Top aligned. All other cells are correct. I have gone into the Tables / Layout and the Alignment Group and clicked on the Center button but nothing changes at all. The two cells stand out like a sore thumb. How can I force them to "center"?

Table alignment in Word 2007
Turn on Show Non-Printing Characters (Ctrl-Shift-8) and see if you
have an extra blank paragraph in the offending cells. Check whether those cells are formatted with a different Style from the others with different spacing options set. Go to Format Paragraph and see whether that sort of spacing formatting has been applied individually to those cells.

Table alignment in Word 2007
I've recently seen situations like that where I could not find anything to
account for the difference in formatting. I ended up just retyping the text in some of the cells, or creating new rows and retyping. I never could figure out what the problem was. -- Suzanne S.

Table alignment in Word 2007
Suzanne,
I neglected to say I have deleted the row(s), retyped them, just overtyped and the offending cells just return. I don't believe MS ever fixed any problem with 2007. It has more bugs than a year old fruitcake. Bob "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: I've recently seen situations like that where I could not find anything to account for the difference in formatting.

Table alignment in Word 2007
Well, you shouldn't have taken the plastic wrap off the fruitcake!
What happens if you select the entire table, apply some other paragraph style as an in-between, and then apply the style you want? (Sounds like you want the same style on all the cells.) Or even select the entire table, then apply each of the Font and Paragraph parameters by hand?

Table alignment in Word 2007
One clear problem is that Word 2007 does not offer any way to retrieve the
individual vertical alignment settings you can use in tables in earlier versions (although the default controls are the nine-button palette, you can add the Vertical Alignment control to the context menu). You mention that all the cells are centered horizontally, and I gather that you want them centered vertically as well, but some are top-aligned. And I gather that clicking the button that would center them both horizontally and vertically is not working. Do these cells contain wrapped graphics? I'm pretty sure that affects the alignment. I'd be inclined to agree with Peter, though. If you do want all the cells aligned the same way (so that changing them all at once is not a problem), then select the entire table and set it to Left and Top and then back to Center/Center and see if that helps. -- Suzanne S.
