Using Table In Column Label and Centering Text Items within that Table

[Cognos_Jan2017]

We add a Toolbox Table, w/ 2 or more Text Items, to a Column Label to Narrow a Column Width.

In the On-Demand Toolbar, sometimes clicking in each text item in that Table will allow "centering",
but that icon usually does NOT appear.

Is there a guaranteed way to be able to "center" individual text items in a Toolbox Table?

TIA, Bob

What object is selected when the option does appear vs does not appear? Are you clicking in the white space in the table cell when the option does appear and clicking on the text item inside the table cell when it doesn't? You can see what object is in focus by opening the Properties window and looking at the very top.

Thank you MFGF.

Selecting ONLY the Column Label DOES permit Centering.

However, clicking either the Table (of one column, 3 rows)
or each Text Item within that Table does NOT show the icon
for Centering in the On-Demand Toolbar.

NOTE:  A few weeks ago doing Centering like the above paragraph
in another Report (after several random Clicks DID allow Centering
for a Table's Text Item).  Have no idea why that worked then.  Unable
to replicate that right now.

Was hoping within the Properties for the Text Item (within the
Table) would have something for Centering, but IF that is there,
I don't know where it is.

Ideas?  TIA, Bob

MFGF - Was just reading another Cognoise Topic about ...
Under the (...) More-Options.

Played w/ that, and noticed "Select" allows selecting a Column
or Row ... and ... the Centering on the On-Demand Toolbar
DOES appear.

Good start to Tuesday.

Thank you for helping me (and other Cognoise people) again, Bob
