+The width of multirow cells is set by setting the width and alignment for

+\begin_layout Standard
+If the column of a multirow cell has no explicit width, the multirow cell
+ inherits the alignment of the column.
+ Otherwise it is by default left-aligned.
+ To override the default, renew the command
+\series bold
+
+\backslash
+multirowsetup
+\series default
+ with the command
+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Standard
+
+\series bold

+\backslash
+renewcommand{

+\backslash

+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Standard
+in the document preamble.
+ Then all entries of multirow cells in the document are centered.
+ If centering is only needed for several tables, you can renew the command
+ in a TeX-Code box just before the table instead of the preamble.
+ If the text should be right-aligned, replace
+\series bold
+
+\backslash
+centering
+\series default
+ by
+\series bold
+
+\backslash
+raggedleft
+\series default
+.
+ To return to left-alignment
+\series bold
+
+\backslash
+raggedright
+\series default
