Suggestion - Text editor - Allow to vertically center the content of a cell in a table

Desktop editors

Hi
In LO or MSO, in the text editors, when you create a table, you have the possibility to choose the vertical position of the text in the cells of the table (top, middle or bottom).
I have not found this possibility in OO.
Is it possible to add it ?
Thanks a lot.

Hello @arcqus

You can rotate text to display it in needed direction: right-click on the cell of a table that you want to rotate > Text Direction > choose in which direction it should be displayed. There are three options available:

  1. Horizontal;
  2. Rotate Text Down;
  3. Rotate Text Up.

I hope it helps.

I’m sorry, but I don’t understand how OP accepted the answer as solution here.

In LO or MSO, in the text editors, when you create a table, you have the possibility to choose the vertical position of the text in the cells of the table (top, middle or bottom).

My understanding of the statement above is that the text needs to be aligned to be at or near the centre of the cell, instead of being near the top horizontal line or the bottom horizontal line. Basically, what’s shown in the screenshot below–

The accepted answer to this post is telling how to change the direction of the text in a cell, as shown below–

However, it is possible to get vertical alignment using the right-click menu also. The option is called Cell Vertical Alignment, see screenshot below–

I hope I cleared out any confusion for people seeing this in the future.
