hi anthony
from the Tables menu:
1. Cell height and width
2. Row
3. Alignment


Good luck,
Harold Druss

To get it in the centre horizontally:

Table menu > Select Table

Then press "Centre Text" button on formatting toolbar.

Select the table & go to File/Page Setup/Layout Tab/Vertical Alignment/ &
choose Center.

Thanks. This method can centre the table horizontally. How about center the
table vertically on the page.

Anthony:

The command you are looking for is on the File/Page setup/Layout menu. See
"Change the vertical alignment of text" in the Word help.

Cheers.
