Center text vertically in table cell

External Since: Jul 18, 2006 Posts: 236

I'd like to center text vertically in a table cell. I have no problem
centering it horizontaly, but when I try and center it vertically, there
seems to be a little more space below. This occurs if I set up a table and
change the font in a cell. When i highlight the text, the highlight extends
to teh top of teh cell, but there is a space below. How can I get the
highlight to extend to both top and bottom.

Check the space before and after settings for the paragraph
(Format>Paragraph)
