Text Alignment is inactive in Table

When I try to insert text in a Table's cell, sometimes I need the second line to be centered; but the Alignment buttons (Center, Left, Right, Justify etc) are inactive. What is the problem?

Thanks.

Is the cell format locked?

Text alignment is not a option for a table cell.

But you can change it via Justification while entering text.

or by the "Cell Styles" Tab in the Table Cell menu

or by the properties window with a cell selected.

Tables are a little bit tricky to get a hang of at first but keep persevering

No, it states "Unlocked".

I've tried the solutions. Justification moves the whole text.

My cell has two lines: one that has to be justified left, and the 2nd, that has to be centered. Justification moves both of them to the center.

Also, I can't even press Enter to go to the next line; or Tab.

I see i cannot see a way to do that ether.

I think the only way you can get around this is to create 2 cells and remove the border between them. (not perfect but with a bit of fiddling you can make it look as if you had 1 cell.)

Also, I can't even press Enter to go to the next line; or Tab.

In tables Enter is used to go to next row

Tab is used to go to next column

To go to next line you need Alt+Enter
