Excel cell alignment with AutoHotkey
I love how easy it is to use AutoHotkey to set Excel formatting. The below AutoHotkey syntax and video show how easy it is to set both vertical and horizontal alignment within Excel. It also introduces the concepts of Excel Constants.

XL_Handle(XL,1) ;get handle to Application
;~ XL_Format_HAlign(XL,RG:="A1:C1",h:=1) ;1=Left 2=Center 3=Right
XL_Format_VAlign(XL,RG:="A1:C1") ;1=Top 2=Center 3=Distrib 4=Bottom
XL_Format_HAlign(PXL,RG="",h="1"){ ;defaults are Right bottom
IfEqual,h,1,Return,PXL.Application.ActiveSheet.Range(RG).HorizontalAlignment:=-4131 ;Left
