FAQ

Why does text still look slightly left even after I center it?

  1. Check whether only horizontal centering was applied while vertical alignment stayed unchanged.
  2. Open the Home tab and review both horizontal and vertical alignment settings in the Alignment group.
  3. If the position still looks off, check whether indent is applied, because indent can shift the visible text position.

Why does centered text still not look visually centered?

  1. Right-click the target cell and open Format Cells.
  2. Confirm that both horizontal and vertical alignment are set to the intended options.
  3. Check for indent, merged cells, or unusually large row height, because each of these can affect visual centering.

Can I make numbers and text use the same alignment?

  1. Select the full range that you want to standardize.
  2. On the Home tab, choose one horizontal alignment option in the Alignment group.
  3. If needed, also apply one vertical alignment option so the whole area keeps a consistent display style.
