Hello,

In a table, vertical align is a cell style, but horizontal align is a paragraph style. You can set a custom horizontal align creating a WordFragment and adding it to the table.

For example:

$docx = new CreateDocx();

$textFragmentLeft = new WordFragment($docx, 'document');
$textFragmentLeft->addText('Default alignment');

$textFragmentCenter = new WordFragment($docx, 'document');
$textFragmentCenter->addText('Center alignment', ['textAlign' => 'center']);

$textFragmentRight = new WordFragment($docx, 'document');
$textFragmentRight->addText('Right alignment', ['textAlign' => 'right']);

$valuesTable = array(
  array(
    $textFragmentLeft,
    $textFragmentCenter,
    $textFragmentRight,
  ),
  array(
    'Other cell 1',
    'Other cell 2',
    'Other cell 3',
  ),
);

$docx->addTable($valuesTable);

$docx->createDocx('output');

You can also apply other styles (such as bold, font size...) to the WordFragments and also add more than one content to the same WordFragment if needed (https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/practical/wordfragments-and-wordml).

In the package you can find a more complex sample that creates a table with WordFragments in the following path: examples/Contents/addTable/sample_4.php

Regards.
