centering text box in a table cell

[Bruce]

Trying to do a project.
I am attempting to center a text box in
a row of a particular table.
If I put it inline, I can kind of get it centered,
but, it stays to the left side in the cell,
doing about 32 of them, and they are all the
same, tried adjusting, but must be doing something wrong.

Select the text box, click on the dog icon on the picture toolbar, click none.

my mistake, using "square" rather than a text box. Is there a way to center
that, in cell?
the "none is greyed out" on that one

 

[Mary Sauer]

Create a square the size of the cell (might help to use guides), create a second
square inside the first, align, delete the first square.

Will give it a try, though I would need to do 26 of them.
I'll try that then copy the first and paste it to the next or copy the box
in box then delete one at a time
thanks

Are you going to type something in the cell as well as have this square? Another
way. Create a square the size you need, put a large point border around it, fill
the border white. Right click, save as picture.
In the table, place your cursor in the cell, fill, fill effects, picture tab,
browse to the square. The fill menu is a tear off.

Doesn't seem to want to align to the center of the cell

basically it is just a colored square, though most are different colors
