TableCellProperties - setVerticalAlign

[soutieslak]

I am trying to set the vertical alignement of a cell in my tabel to be "centre" but I am not succeeding.

const Analysis = new docx.Paragraph("This text should be in the middle of the cell");
table.getCell(6, 0).addContent(Analysis).CellProperties.setVerticalAlign("CENTER");

When I try open the word document in windows 10, with Microsoft Word 365, then it gives an error:

We're sorry. We can't open DocumentName.docx because we found a problem with its contents.
Details
Unspecified error
Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line: 0, Column: 0

Any idea or help? Am I assigning the setVerticalAlign(type: VerticalAlign) correctly?

I saw that the type is defined as follows:
export enum VerticalAlign {
BOTTOM = "bottom",
CENTER = "center",
TOP = "top",
}

Here you go:

const doc = new Document();

const table = doc.createTable(4, 4);
table.getCell(2, 2).addContent(new Paragraph("This text should be in the middle of the cell")).CellProperties.setVerticalAlign(VerticalAlign.CENTER);

const packer = new Packer();

packer.toBuffer(doc).then((buffer) => {
    fs.writeFileSync("My Document.docx", buffer);
});

You champ! Thank you so much fot the epic support!!!!

I am busy with NodeJS and declare this module as:
var docx = require('docx');

In your example I was getting "VerticalAlign not defined" so I changed it to:

table.getCell(2, 2).addContent(new Paragraph("This text should be in the middle of the cell")).CellProperties.setVerticalAlign(docx.VerticalAlign.CENTER);

And all works!!! Thanks dude! I really love this API!!!!

I am creating an application using electron and react, and I will need to create a Word text document dynamically, I found a great package, DOCX, but I need to create some tables, and I can't set the size of the columns, I need help setting the size of the columns, follows an excerpt from the code, and documentation link https://docx.js.org/#/

// eslint-disable-next-line
import { Document, Packer, Paragraph, TextRun, Table, TableRow, TableCell, VerticalAlign, HeadingLevel } from 'docx';
const {dialog} = window.require('electron').remote;
const app = window.require('electron').remote
const fs = app.require('fs');

const doc = new Document();

export default function createDocx(){

    const table = new Table({
        rows: [
            new TableRow({
                children: [
                    new TableCell({
                        children: [new Paragraph({}), new Paragraph({})],
                        verticalAlign: VerticalAlign.CENTER,
                    }),
                    new TableCell({
                        children: [new Paragraph({}), new Paragraph({})],
