Transcript
We start by selecting the text inside each cell. Then we apply horizontal center alignment, which moves the text to the center between the left and right edges. Next, we apply vertical middle alignment, moving the text to the middle between the top and bottom edges. The final result is text perfectly centered both horizontally and vertically, making the table visually balanced and easy to read.
