Changing the alignment of elements in a table

Any element that is in a table cell can be aligned to the border of the cell and to other elements in a row. You can also align text and images to the left, right, and center of a cell.

To align text and images to the left, right, or center of a cell:

1. Select the element.
   
2. Choose Alignment from the Format menu and then choose Align Left, Align Center, or Align Right.
   

To align elements top, middle, or bottom of a cell:

1. Click in the cell to select it.
   
2. Choose Object Editor from the View menu (Windows) or Show Object Editor from the Window menu (Macintosh) or click the Object Editor button on the toolbar.
   
3. Click the Cells tab if necessary.
   
4. Choose a setting from the Vertical Align pop-up menu.

   Choose this setting	To have elements aligned like this
   Top	Elements are aligned at the top of the cell.
   Middle	Elements are aligned in the middle of the cell.
   Bottom	Elements are aligned at the bottom of the cell.
   Baseline	Text is aligned by the baseline of each character. The baseline is an imaginary line that divides the main body from the descender of a lowercase letter, such as a "g" or "j." This setting is generally used in tables where each cell contains a single line of text. When you are viewing your page in Claris Home Page, however, the text will look like it's top-aligned.
