17.4.28 jc

This element specifies the alignment of the current table 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 associated table style. If this property is not specified in the style hierarchy, then the table shall be left justified with zero indentation from the leading margin (the left margin in a left-to-right table or the right margin in a right-to-left table).

[Example: Consider the following WordprocessingML table, justified to the left margin by default:

R1C1

R1C2

R1C3

R2C1

R2C2

R2C3

This table does not fill the entire width of the text margins. If the table should be right justified to the margin, as follows:

R1C1

R1C2

R1C3

R2C1

R2C2

R2C3

That requirement would be specified using the following WordprocessingML:

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

The jc element specifies that the table must be right 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).
