Vertical Align Content in Table Cell

[Jeff Shepherd]

I can align text in a table cell to the left/center/right.

Is it possible to align it top/middle/bottom?

Since you are on server, you can update the global/space CSS to middle align cell text (what I did by default in my instances).

The default in Confluence is top, If you wanted something more select able, You could create a user macro to wrap your cell content and set the alignment -- a bit cumbersome.

If you wanted to control it on a table basis, you could use a similar strategy to wrap your table and set the vertical alignment for all cells in the table.

I supposed I should have specified are there page editing tools provided that can align vertically.

If I've got to manually edit the HTML/CSS I'm taking the answer to be 'no'.

[Bill Bailey]

Correct, there is no builtin tool to do what you want. I would require a custom addon to the existing editor. There might be a third-party solution, but you would have to search the marketplace to see. Would be a cool addon, though.

A feature of Confluence 8.4 is the ability to:

• Align table content vertically

Hello from the future!

Does this function still exist? I might be blind but I cannot find it anywhere.

In a table cell select "Align Middle" from the ribbon options

Oh wow, any idea how I get all those options?

These are all the ones I can see.

Thanks in advance!

You need to have your cursor be in a table cell for the second ribbon line to show up. At least on my version of Confluence (Data Center, 8.5.7). There is documentation on Tables and you can select the version appropriate to you. I suspect you are on Cloud and I have no experience with that.

Yeah you're right I am on cloud. Very confusing this..

Thanks for your time and replies, hopefully I'll get to the bottom of this.

Shocking that this isn't a thing

[Jeff Shepherd]

I just updated the answer to my own question. As of 8.4 it is a thing.
