Currently, you only have the option to edit the 'horizontal alignment' of text within the table cells from the EDIT menu, with options like 'Left,' 'Centre,' 'Right,' and 'Justify.'

It would be useful if, when you select text inside a table cell, the 'Vertical Alignment' option also appeared on the EDIT menu. This would allow you to align the text to 'Top,' 'Middle,' 'Bottom,' or 'Baseline.'

In tables, this functionality is not easy to find. You have to right-click on the cell, select Cell > Cell Properties, and then choose the desired alignment from the 'Vertical Alignment' drop-down menu.
