Use the paragraph property for the paratag used in the table cell to make it centred.

Thank you. I would have thought that part of table designer that mentions centering would have done the trick. I never would have thought paragraph designer.

Myko,
Just to summarize and motivate what Stephan and Arnis have already said:
I hope this explanation makes it easier to remember where to find this information in the future.

Hi Lynne
Thank you for the explanation. I have tried centering as described above but it seems to be save proof. Could it be some sort of a template that I need to override?

Myko,
For questions about how to specify the formatting that is applied when you open an XML document, you should probably start a new discussion in the structured FrameMaker forum (FrameMaker Structured). Briefly though, when you open an XML document, FrameMaker flows the content into a template. Among other things, that template defines needed paragraph formats and the text format rules that associate elements and attributes with individual properties, complete paragraph formats, and so forth.
