Vertical alignment
Vertical alignment applies only to the table content. Alignment buttons are displayed on the Toolbar when the cursor is positioned in a table or an entire table element or a table is selected.
To vertically align text in a table, follow the steps below:
-
Select the element for which you want to adjust the alignment:
- To align the content of a single cell, select it or place the cursor in it.
- To align the contents of multiple cells, columns, or rows, select these table elements.
- To align the contents of the entire table, select the entire table.
-
On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, select the alignment method:
Align to top: Aligns the content along the top edge of the cell.
Align to middle: Centers the content in the cell.
Align to bottom: Aligns the content along the bottom edge of the cell.
If the text in a cell is rotated, vertical alignment is carried out according to its position in space: the text is moved relative to the left and right cell borders.
