With a single line of text, Justify behaves like Top alignment, and Distribute behaves like Middle alignment.

Now let's re-enable text wrapping for the first three columns, so we can compare all vertical alignment options. But when pasting it on SharePoint page, SharePoint automatically aligns it vertically middle position. I even tried copy pasting the table from word document & excel. Currently, you can only align it to left, center or right (horizontally). Vertical alignment settings are on the Alignment tab, just below the Horizontal alignment menu.Īs we can see, both Justify and Distributed automatically wrap text.

However, let's undo that change for the moment and go on to columns F and G. Now we can see vertical alignment in action.įor the bottom three rows, we can enable text wrapping and Excel will adjust each row as needed to fit the text. That's because vertical alignment doesn't actually do anything unless the row height is increased. Note that nothing in our table has changed. So there's no need to change the setting. Let's format the text in each column to match the headings.įor columns C, D, and E, it's easiest to set vertical alignment using the three buttons in the Alignment group on the home tab of the ribbon.įor column C, we click the Top Align button.įor column D, we use the Middle Align button.įor column E, vertical alignment is already set to Bottom Align.
