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 Table→Horizontal cell alignment and Table→Vertical 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 Table→Horizontal table
alignment and Table→Vertical 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”.
