word can't line up text

[Dick7Access]

I have a Word Doc (2016) that I can not line up names on the same line. What am I doing wrong? I tried to send it with grid lines, but they don’t send.

Right click and adjust the Cell Alignment properties to match.

Also adjust the fonts.

I don't see cell alignment property
Plus when I put in grid lines the cell look lined up.

Right click on a cell, avoiding the actual contents of the cell. On your file it is not on the header row. (Word 2007.)

I am right clicking just past the text. Am I suppose to be clicking somewhere else. see attachments

That is the context menu for the cell contents that comes up when I right click on the text in Word 2007. The W2007 designer looks quite different from your image. Maybe that context menu is deprecated in W16 but I doubt it.

Try this:
Select the cell/s you want to align.
Ribbon > TableTools > Layout > Alignment section

There is a patch with nine icons. Hover over them to see the description and click the one you prefer.

Bingo! thank you very much. I would name my first kid after you, but at 75 my gun is probable shooting blanks.
