You can set the horizontal or vertical alignment for the contents of a cell or a group of cells.

Set the HorizontalAlign and VerticalAlign properties for the FpSpread object’s Cells property.
This example code sets the horizontal alignment of the first cell (A1) to be right-aligned, the vertical alignment of that cell to be top-aligned, and the horizontal alignment of cells from B2 to C3 to be centered.
