Centering a Table

By default, Word automatically left-justifies a table in your document. If you want to quickly center the table between the page margins, follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the table. Word displays a Context menu.
2. Choose Table Properties from the Context menu. Word displays the Table Properties dialog box.
3. Make sure the Table tab is selected. (Click here to see a related figure.)
4. Click on Center.
5. Click on Close.

The above steps won't work if you are using Word 97. If that is the case, then you should follow these steps:

1. Position the insertion point somewhere within the table.
2. Choose Select Table from the Table menu. This selects the entire table.
3. Choose Cell Height and Width from the Table menu. This displays the Cell Height and Width dialog box with the Row tab selected. (Click here to see a related figure.)
4. Click on the Center radio button.
5. Click on OK.
