Test document

1. I opened writer.
Selected view->toolbars->align
All buttons are greyed out

2. I selected text and used the "formatting" toolbar to align text, and it works as expected.

3. I created a table and tried to align text using formatting toolbar, and it works as expected

4. For text within table, the align toolbar is greyed out

Attached image of toolbar, and test document

NOT reproducible with parallel installation of  "LOdev  4.0.0.0.beta1   -  GERMAN UI / German Locale  [Build ID: 87906242e87d3ddb2ba9827818f2d1416d80cc7)]"  {tinderbox: @6, pull time 2012-12-06} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) with separate /4 User Profile for Master Branch

User Error, so INVALID

@dhirenjani@hotmail.com 
When you enable menu 'Tools -> Options -> LibO -> General - Extended tipps' you will see in a tooltip for the icons that those functions are for objects, not for text. Insert a bullet from the gallery into your text document, click it and wath the align toolbar, it will become active as expected.
Comment 3 dhirenjani 2012-12-16 16:13:13 UTC
Rainer, you are correct, that toolbar works with bullet from gallery.

1. Is it possible to rename the toolbar as "Align Objects"?
2.The Object toolbar has the same functionality, so is this redundant?

Very good questions, I can't answer ad hoc
Comment 5 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2013-01-13 08:21:07 UTC
'Align' Toolbar name should be changed to 'Align Objects' to avoid confusion with text alignment.
