Center text in cell word table by edit paragraph. Thank you, Allan Wyatt, for being here for us, and getting us through this nonsense called MicroSoft. The only way I have come up with for dealing with the frustrations of using these programs is to imagine that I'm trying to work with a retarded child, and not expect anything more than that in return. For one of the richest companies in the World, MicroSoft authors the most dysfunctional programs the computing age has ever seen, and continues to do so. The fact that I'm having to spend nearly a half hour researching how to get text to vertically center in a table cell-only to find (thus far) that it can only be done on a Per-Cell basis)-is evidence. Nothing costs me more time in my work than dealing with the inefficiency and sloppy, thoughtless programming of these applications. The text on this page declares, "Microsoft Word is the most popular word processing software in the world." It's only that because MicroSoft got there first, not because of the quality of the program.

There are two ways to center information: horizontally and vertically. Often it is necessary to center information within the cells of a table.
Tables are a powerful formatting tool used in many Word documents.
