How to insert and center a Table in Google Docs with Google Script

Question

I am trying to create a table and have it end up being centered in the document body of a Google DocumentApp using Google Script.

As of now, I create Tables using a For Loop and they are created fine, they Just will not center.

I have tried the Following:

Attempt 1:

var insertedTable = updateBody.insertTable(numberOfTables, objectivesTables[g]);            
insertedTable.setAlignment(DocumentApp.HorizontalAlignment.CENTER);

RESULT: This makes one LEFT aligned table then stalls and times out. (I am using a library that I have created and I am calling this function from another Script so I do not get an error message)

Attempt 2:

var style = {};
style[DocumentApp.Attribute.HORIZONTAL_ALIGNMENT] = DocumentApp.HorizontalAlignment.CENTER;

updateBody.insertTable(numberOfTables, objectivesTables[g]).setAttributes(style);

RESULT: All Tables Are created but are Left Aligned.

I have seen this done with Text, Paragraphs, and Images but I cannot figure out how to accomplish this with a Table so any help would be graciously received.

Answer 1

A nasty solution might be to put a placeholder in the doc, center it manually and then replace it with a table.
