Formatting a table

By default, text entered into table cells is aligned horizontally to the left and numbers are

aligned to the right. In addition, if more than one row of text is entered, or a graphic is used,

as in Figure 10, text aligns vertically to the top of the cell and numbers to the bottom.

As in the header, graphics are inserted with no wrap. It is wise to change the wrap style to

Page Wrap, so that they can be positioned where you want in the cell.

To vertically center align all of the text and numbers in the table:

1) Move the cursor to the upper left-hand cell under the header, click and drag to the

lower left hand cell.

Note: By selecting all of the cells, the images will also be aligned.

2) Right-click and select Cell > Center in the context menu as shown in Figure 11

to display as currency as shown in Figure 12.

2) Right click and select Number Format in the context menu or Format > Number

Format in the main menu

3) In the category box select Currency.

4) In the Format box choose the country and format.

5) You may need to select the checkbox next to either Thousands separator or Negative

numbers red.
