Paragraph alignment in Word 2016 documents has nothing to do with politics, and justification has little to do with the reasons behind putting text in a paragraph. Instead, both terms refer to how the left and right edges of the paragraph look on a page. The four options are Left, Center, Right, and Fully Justified, each covered here.
Mar 17, 2011 Best Answer: I'm still using 2008 but it hasn't changed in the last couple of versions so hopefully will be the same in 2011: Go to File>Page Setup. From Settings select Microsoft Word. Click on the Margins button. Click on the Layout tab and select Centred from Vertical Alignment. I use PC not a Mac, but you ought to be able to do this by changing the font to one that is monospaced. One common monospace font is Courier but there are many others. Many have the word 'mono' in them 150+ Active Directory reports with built-in management actions. Actionable reports on AD.
Line up on the left!
Left alignment is considered standard, probably thanks to the mechanical typewriter and, before that, generations of grammar school teachers who preferred text lined up on the left side of a page. The right side of the page? Who cares!
To left-align a paragraph, press Ctrl+L or click the Align Left command button. This type of alignment is also known as ragged right.
Left-aligning a paragraph is how you undo the other types of alignment.
Everyone center!
Centering a paragraph places each line in that paragraph in the middle of the page, with an equal amount of space to the line’s right and left.
To center a paragraph, press Ctrl+E or use the Center command button.
Line up on the right!
The mirror image of left alignment, right alignment keeps the right edge of a paragraph even. The left margin, however, is jagged. When do you use this type of formatting? It sure feels funky typing a right-aligned paragraph.
To flush text along the right side of the page, press Ctrl+R or click the Align Right command button.
Line up on both sides!
Lining up both sides of a paragraph is full justification: Both the left and right sides of a paragraph are neat and tidy, flush with the margins.
To give your paragraph full justification, press Ctrl+J or click the Justify command button.
To line up text even better, activate Word’s Hyphenation feature: Click the Layout tab. Click the Hyphenation button and choose Automatic. Word splits long words near the right margin for better text presentation.

I am creating a Word document on the fly as a C# VS 2010 Office Word project for a client who wants to be able to generate a document that will allow the appropriate number of signatory locations for a particular deal going down. There is a table that will need to be generated with sufficient rows and then later in the doc I have to produce prefab blocks for personal info per signatory.
I am working on the table part now and have almost everything as I want it, but the text in all of the cells is vertically top aligned. I have visited EVERY site in the ENTIRE internet in the past few days for up-to-date information on Word automation that is current for .Net 4, VS 2010 and Office 2010. I have syntax that compiles w/o error but fails to bottom align as I desire. I have even stabbed about with IntelliSense to see if I could find another solution.
This code focuses on a single row:
tbl.Range.Rows[1].Cells.VerticalAlignment = Word.WdCellVerticalAlignment.wdCellAlignVerticalBottom;This runs but the text stays helium-filled.
Any Word automation wizards out there?

I was unable to reproduce the problem. This code works just fine:
I suspect that some other problem must be in play, like the paragraph spacing after, or perhaps the wrong range is selected?

The text is probably centered vertically, but it incudes a paragraph spacing other than '0.' So, Word is viewing the extra line as additional text that needs to be included in the vertical centering.
To get around this, simply highlight the text you want to be vertically centered (or the entire table if that is what you want). Then go to 'Page Layout' and reduce the 'Spacing' 'After' to '0.' If you also have a space on the top of your text, you will need to reduce the 'Spacing' 'Before' to '0' as well. With no spacing before or after the text, the actual text will now be centered.

This is for an old question, but I just ran into the same problem and a fix for this. Add this to your table:

The following worked for me in Word 2011 for Mac- nothing else suggested in numerous sites seemed change the vertical cell alignment for me. Found this out by trial and error.I highlighted the cells I wanted vertically align to bottom right and changed the line spacing (in my case it was 1.5 for the table) to 1 for those cells. It finally worked. Hope it helps.

Highlight text within the table --> go to Line Spacing Options--> in the Spacing Before/After section set Before and After to zero px (or equal).
