How To Center Text In A Table Column Word 2016 For Mac



In Microsoft Word, when you try to center the text in a column of an inserted table, you may be unable to do so. For example, in Microsoft Office Word 2003, when you click Centered in the Pick formatting to apply list of the Styles and Formatting task pane, the centered formatting is not applied to the selected text as expected. First, select all the content in the table. Then switch to Home tab and click Center in Paragraph section. The text will be centered immediately as below. But it’s still at the upper place of each cell. To center align text in table cells, use the CSS property text-align. The tag align attribute was used before, but HTML5 deprecated the attribute.
