Our table is a bit cramped. In the below table, the width and height of the cells have been adjusted and the text aligned so that it appears in the middle of the cells.
Select all the cells and click on the Center button in the toolbar. Then right-click in one cell, scroll to Cell and follow the arrow to Table Cell Properties. Make sure you check Center in Vertical Alignment. Check "Update All Cells in Table” at the bottom to make sure that all text is in the middle of the cell.
Right-click in the Paternal Great Grandfather cell (one of the cells in the last column) and set the height. The cells in this example have a height of 30px. The setting only affects the last column since the other columns are merged and much higher than 30px. Do not forget to check “Update All Cells in Table”. This is a very practical setting.
Right-click in the "Paternal great grandfather" cell, select the width of the cell and then "Update all cells in the table". Why you choose this cell is because that column has the most cells. Then correct the other cells that should have antoher widht. The cells for Father, Mother and Child in this example have 60px. The width for Paternal grandfather is set to 100px. And the widht for Paternal great grandfather is set to 170px.
