The following members return XlCellAlignment objects:
Remarks
The XlCellAlignment object provides a set of properties that you can use to align data contained within a cell (XlCellAlignment.HorizontalAlignment, XlCellAlignment.VerticalAlignment, XlCellAlignment.Indent, XlCellAlignment.TextRotation, XlCellAlignment.WrapText, etc.).
To define alignment settings for the cell content, create an instance of the XlCellAlignment class, and then set the required properties of the created object. You can also use the static XlCellAlignment.FromHV method to specify both the horizontal and vertical alignment for a cell simultaneously.
To apply alignment options to a cell, assign the specified XlCellAlignment object to the IXlCell.Formatting property, or pass it to the IXlCell.ApplyFormatting method as a parameter.
To share alignment settings with multiple cells in a row at once, use the IXlRow.BulkCells method.
To specify alignment characteristics for the entire row or column, use the IXlRow.ApplyFormatting and IXlColumn.ApplyFormatting methods, or IXlRow.Formatting and IXlColumn.Formatting properties, respectively.
For an example on how to specify alignment options for a cell, refer to the How to: Align Cell Content article.
