17.4.26 jc

This element specifies the alignment of the set of rows which are part of the current table properties exception list with respect to the text margins in the current section. When a table is placed in a WordprocessingML document that does not have the same width as the margins, this property is used to determine how the table is positioned with respect to those margins. The interpretation of property is reversed if the parent table is right to left using the bidiVisual element (17.4.1).

If this property is omitted on a table, then the justification shall be determined by the default set of table properties on the parent table.

[Example: Consider the following WordprocessingML table, centered on the text margins with a subset of its rows justified to the left margin by a table property exception:

That exception would be specified using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:tblPrEx>
  <w:jc w:val="start"/>
</w:tblPrEx>

The jc element specifies that the rows which are part of the table properties exception table must be left aligned with respect to the text margins. end example]

Attributes

val (Alignment Type)

Specifies the justification which should be applied to the parent table.

[Example: Consider the following WordprocessingML fragment for a table in a document:

  <w:tblPr>
    <w:jc w:val="center" />
  </w:tblPr>

This table is now centered on the page. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_JcTable simple type (17.18.45).
