Aligning text in tables

Align text in a table in different ways to make the table easier to read and understand. Typically, numbers are right-aligned so that the decimal points line up under one another and the numbers are easier to compare. Labels are typically center-aligned or left-aligned. OneNote provides alignment buttons on the Table Tools | Layout contextual tab for aligning text.

Left-align, center, or right-align text

  1. Select the rows, columns, or cells that contain the data you want to realign; or, select the entire table.

  2. On the ribbon, click the Table Tools | Layout contextual tab.

  3. In the Alignment group, click Align Left, Center, or Align Right.
