DrawingML Tables - Cell Properties - Text Alignment, Margins and Direction

Each cell may have a set of properties specified within a <a:tcPr> element, which is a child of the <a:tc> element.

Properties related to horizontal and vertical alignment, margins, content direction, and text overflow are determined by attributes of the <a:tcPr> element. Below are the permitted attributes.

Attribute Description

anchor Defines the alignment of text vertically within a cell. E.g., <a:tcPr anchor="ctr">. Possible values are: * b - bottom * ctr - center * dist - distributed vertically. When text is horizontal the lines are spaced out much the same as when the value is just. When text is vertical, the letters are distributed, which is different from just because it always forces distribution even if there are only one or two words. * just - distributed vertically. When text is horizontal, this spaces out the lines and is nearly identical to when the value is dist. When text is vertical, it justifies the letters vertically. * t - top
