myPlatform = New Window( "Record Wafers",
modal,
myDispObj = dt << getAsReport,
myDispObj[Table Box( 1 )] << Set Scrollable( 0, 0 ) << Horizontal Alignment( "center" )
);

Assuming the text you mention is in a 'StringColBox()':

NamesDefaultToHere(1);

dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");
biv = dt << Bivariate( Y( :weight ), X( :height ), Fit Line );
repBiv = Report(biv);

Wait(3);
repBiv[StringColBox(1)] << setJustify( "center" );

Using JMP 15.2 (on a Mac), with your code above I get (after stretching the column);

If I remove the 'setJustify()', I see:

I'm using jmp 12 ... but even in jmp 15 the "test2" and "test3" are still not in the middle, you can see "test2" is not center, but aligned to the right.
is there a way to center all the columns?
