Re: Default cell alignment

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



The to should be made the system install default rather than bottom.

There is nothing harder to read then a wrap text print out aligned to the
bottom.

I suspect that this would match the expectation of most users as they will
normally read top to bottom and left to right including when moving between
adjacent cells.

Where cells are wrap texted but have different volumes of text they are a
lot easier to follow when the alignment its to the top.
