Split out of #1323.

table.cellAlign {align: left|center|right|justify} sets the alignment of every paragraph in the target cells, as Table Layout ▸ Alignment does. anchor stays the vertical alignment and is optional when align is given; an unknown align is refused. Found by an agent run.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Table cells can be aligned horizontally using left, center, right, or justified alignment, with common aliases supported. Alignment applies to every paragraph in the selected cells.
    • Vertical anchoring can be set independently; it defaults to top when an anchor is specified. Changing horizontal alignment alone preserves the existing vertical anchor.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Invalid horizontal alignment or vertical anchor values are rejected, and invalid input does not change the document revision. Changes apply only to the selected cells.

Walkthrough

The table.cellAlign command now supports horizontal alignment and optional vertical anchoring. It validates option types and values, applies horizontal alignment to every paragraph in selected cells, and preserves vertical anchoring when align is supplied without anchor.

Changes: Table Cell Alignment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Alignment options and selected-cell updates
crates/engine/src/cmd/table.rs, crates/engine/src/tests.rs
The command description documents anchor and align. The implementation validates both options, supports alignment aliases, and updates target cells. The test checks selected-cell alignment, anchor behavior, invalid inputs, and unchanged document revision after errors.

Merge Risk: Low · up to f58ec

Alignment can affect unintended cells when another table remains selected, or miss visible merged-cell text. These bounded cases need owner awareness or follow-up.

  • observed — crates (service) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in crates/engine/src/cmd/table.rs: The table.cellAlign command description now documents optional vertical anchor and horizontal align, including their defaults and that horizontal alignment applies to every paragraph.
  • observed — Modified behavior in crates/engine/src/cmd/table.rs: cell_align now validates align and anchor types and names, recognizes aliases for left, center, right, and justify, and applies horizontal alignment to every paragraph in each target cell. Unlike the previous implementation, which always set the vertical anchor (defaulting to top), an alignment-only request leaves the anchor unchanged; otherwise the anchor defaults to top and is set on each target cell.
  • observed — Modified behavior in crates/engine/src/tests.rs: Added table_cell_align_sets_the_horizontal_alignment, which checks that center and right alignment apply only to the specified cells, setting an anchor leaves other cells’ anchors unchanged, and invalid alignment or anchor values return errors without changing the document revision.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Match the selection to the target table.

If table A has a cell selection and the caller supplies table B’s id without cells, this helper uses A’s coordinates on B. The new horizontal alignment then changes only those cells in B, rather than all cells in B. Use the selection only when its table ID matches the target ID.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Resolve explicit coordinates to merged-cell anchors.

If cells names a covered coordinate, the new alignment updates that covered cell instead of the merged cell’s text. For example, after merging [0,0] through [0,1], aligning [[0,1]] leaves the visible text unchanged. Table::merge moves that text to [0,0]. Resolve explicit coordinates to the merged-cell anchor before applying alignment. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Cover multiple paragraphs in the alignment test.

The fixture gives each selected cell one paragraph. The current assertions therefore pass even if table.cellAlign updates only the first paragraph.

Suggested fix
-    let id = table_at(&mut s, &[100.0, 100.0], json!([["a", "b"], ["c", "d"]]));
+    let id = table_at(&mut s, &[100.0, 100.0], json!([["a\nb", "b\nc"], ["c\nd", "d"]]));
...
-    assert_eq!(al(0, 0), vec![Some(Align::Center)]);
-    assert_eq!(al(1, 0), vec![Some(Align::Center)]);
-    assert_eq!(al(0, 1), vec![Some(Align::Right)]);
+    assert_eq!(al(0, 0), vec![Some(Align::Center), Some(Align::Center)]);

Review notes (comment only).

What I read: the table.cellAlign change and its test. CI is green and the branch is clean against main.

Checked in real PowerPoint (Windows, COM, new temporary presentation, closed without saving): in a 2×2 table I set a two-paragraph cell's ParagraphFormat.Alignment to centre and its VerticalAnchor to middle, then saved. The cell XML has <a:pPr algn="ctr"/> on both paragraphs and <a:tcPr anchor="ctr"/> on the cell. That is the split this PR makes: horizontal align on every paragraph of the cell, vertical anchor on the cell, and align alone leaving the anchor untouched.

Not run: I did not build or run the Rust tests; I relied on CI. Not checked in PowerPoint: justify, and cells with merged ranges.
