When you add a table to an Impress presentation and select the table, the "Table" tab of the notebookbar is shown. However, this tab is missing the "Align Objects" commands, which are very useful to f.i. center the table horizontally/vertically on the slide. Steps to reproduce 0) Make sure you're using the Tabbed UI 1) Create an empty presentation 2) Add a table to the current slide 3) Select the table 4) Notice the "Table" tab is selected, but it does not have the Align Object commands These commands exist and work fine with tables... they currently can be accessed if you select the table and open the context menu. So I propose we add these commands to the Table tab of the Tabbed UI.
I see that the Draw, Image, Media and Object tabs all have those 6 buttons, so I can't see why we shouldn't have them in the Table tab too. What's more: when a table is selected, the sidebar doesn't even have those commands. All others objects I tested (formula, chart, text box, image, fontwork, shape) have the alignment options in the sidebar. So you could argue that tables are the ones who need that command in the tabbed interface _the most_. (Workaround is to switch to the Layout tab, or use the context menu, or reveal the menubar > Format > Align Objects.)

True for 5.4.0.3 (but back then, tabs were a lot lighter in content, and I couldn't see align commands elsewhere)
