Word: Align text in a table – here’s how

Text in a table in Word doesn’t always appear in the right place. In this practical tip, we show you how to align text so that it is centered, right-aligned, or left-aligned in a cell.

Align text in a Word table – here’s how

• First, select all the cell content you want to align. If you want to change several cells, you can select them all at once.

• Click on the new menu “Table Tools” ☻ ‘Layout’ in the top right of the menu bar.

• Directly below, in the “Align” box, you will find various options for positioning the text.

• Here you can click “Center Left” or “Top Right,” for example, to arrange the text in the desired position.

• Note: To align the text better at the top and bottom, you should remove all unused blank lines in the cells.
