Centring text in a table cell PDF Print E-mail

centretext.jpgWhen using a table layout in a word processor to make up vocabulary or game cards, sometimes it looks better to have the content centred not only horizontally, but also vertically. Hitting "Enter" a couple of times before and after the text/picture is not the best way to do this! Here are two methods in MS Word (at least the version from 2002):

Running this website costs me many dollars every month!

Method 1: See the screenshot above left? If you can't find the button at the top left of the screenshot in Word, then click on the 'View' menu, then 'Toolbars', then 'Tables and Borders'. When you have the cursor in a table cell that you want to centre, click on the top button and choose the layout you want.

Method 2: If you prefer going through menus, or not having lots of toolbars taking up screen space, then use this method. When you have the cursor in a table cell that you want to centre, go to the 'Tables' menu, choose 'Table Properties'. Click on the 'Cell' tab and choose which vertical alignment you want.

Both of these methods can be applied to multiple cells or whole tables at once if you highlight them first.
