Changing Cell Alignment

Summary: Individual cells in a table can be aligned any way you desire. As pointed out here, just select the cell and apply the formatting. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)

If you desire, you can independently specify the alignment of every cell in a Word table. Originally, the cell alignment matches the alignment of the paragraphs from which the table was created. You can override this, however, by using the paragraph alignment buttons on the ruler or, in Word 2007, the paragraph alignment buttons in the Paragraph group of the Home tab of the ribbon. Simply position the insertion point in the cell whose alignment you want to adjust, and then select one of the buttons.

Tip #1295 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003 | 2007
