When attributes overlap or conflict, such as different
background colors for a cell in the same row and column, the more specific target has precedence. The
hierarchy, from most general to most specific, is as follows: tables, rows, columns, and cells.
You can call up the specific Property inspector by selecting the cell, row, or column you want to modify. The
Cell, Row, and Column Property inspectors each affect similar attributes. The following sections explain
how the attributes work, both in general and??”if any differences exist??”specifically (in regard to the cell,
column, or row).
Horizontal alignment
You can set the horizontal alignment attribute, align, to specify the default alignment, or left, right, or
center alignment, for the contents of a cell, column, or row. This attribute can be overridden by setting the
alignment for the individual line or image. Generally, left is the default horizontal alignment for cells.
Vertical alignment
The HTML valign attribute specifies whether the cell??™s contents are vertically aligned to the cell??™s top,
middle, or bottom, or along the baseline. Typically, browsers align cells vertically in the middle by default.
Select the Vertical Alignment option arrow in the Cell, Column, or Row Properties inspector to specify a
different alignment.
