To modify table cell properties:

  1. In your draft, select the cell or cells you want to modify (see Selecting an entire table, row, or column).
  2. Do one of the following to open the Table Properties dialog box:
  3. Make changes to any of the following options:
  4. Horizontal alignment specifies how cell content is aligned horizontally. Options are Left, Center, and Right.

    Vertical alignment specifies how cell content is aligned vertically. Options are Top, Middle, and Bottom.

    Background color indicates the background color of the cell.

    Note: You can also click the Highlight Color button in the toolbar to change the color of the selected cell.

    Wrap text, when selected, indicates that text wraps to a new line when it reaches the end of the cell. When not selected, text does not wrap, and the cell expands to accommodate the text.
