Why doesn't cell alignment bottom hold?

[Mary12345]

I am using Microsoft Office Word 2003, Excel 2003 on Windows XP Professional.
I link tables from Word to Excel. Then I do EDIT, LINKS, and check the
Preserve formatting after update box. Then if I select the table, and click
bottom alignment on the tables and borders bar and then update the link or
close and reopen the file, the bottom alignment does not hold.

Hi Mary. I'm having a similar issue with borders after I clear them in Word
reverting back after an update to an excel file. Having the same issue with
cell alignment as well, some stick, i.e. righ aligned, while other alignments
don't. Any success in getting an answer?

No answer yet. But it's good to know someone else has the same problem.
