Specifying the cell and table alignment

The most frequent formatting operation is the horizontal or vertical alignment of a block of cells. You may use the M-←, M-→, M-↑ and M-↓ keystrokes to quickly align more to the left, right, top or bottom.

A specific alignment can also be selected in the TableHorizontal cell alignment and TableVertical cell alignment menus. Alternatively, you may use keyboard shorthands of the types M-t h x and M-t v x for horizontal resp. vertical alignment.

Similarly, you may specify how the table itself should be aligned with respect to the surrounding text. This is either done via the TableHorizontal table alignment and TableVertical table alignment submenus, or using keyboard shorthands of the form M-t H x or M-t V x. Here x represents l for “left”, c for “centered”, r for “right”, b for “bottom” and t for “top”.
