I'm trying to center a report a created so the text is all centered instead of RTL for number and LTR for text

Re: Center text in a report

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

Re: Center text in a report

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" );

dt = Open( "C:\Users\test.xls", "invisible" );
ob = Outline Box( "test", vl = V List Box() );
myPlatform = New Window( "test",
modal,
myDispObj = dt << getAsReport,

Re: Center text in a report

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

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

Re: Center text in a report

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?
