Perfect, thanks. I missed that. I guess because "Table-wide settings" 
sounds as if some setting that is normally applied only per 
column/row/cell is applied table-wide. So, I had mistaken it for the 
text-alignment within the table. I am not a native speaker but maybe 
there is some more suitable term than "Table-wide" for this.

I am also wondering whether the options could be more descriptively 
labelled "Baseline at top", "Baseline centered", "Baseline at bottom". 
That is what Libre Office uses for graphics alignment.
