Modify cell properties

You can modify horizontal and vertical alignment, background color, and text wrap for a selected cell.

Note: To understand how Contribute resolves formatting conflicts for cells, rows, and tables, see About conflicts in table formatting.

  1. In your draft, select the cell or cells you want to modify (see Select table, row, or column).

  2. Do one of the following to open the Table Properties dialog box:

    • Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS), and then select Table Cell Properties from the pop-up menu.

    • Select Table > Table Cell Properties.

    • Click the Table button  in the toolbar.

    Note: If you placed the insertion point in the cell instead of selecting the cell, this option opens the Insert Table dialog box instead of the Table Properties dialog box for cells.

    The Table Properties dialog box appears with the appropriate tab selected.
