Is there a way to center the contents of a field in Access, like you can in a
cell in Excel?
 
Form, Report, Query, or Table?

In a form or report there is the familiar Center button. Click in the fields
that you want center and click it.

In a query or table? Short of padding with space, no. That's just another on
a dozen or more reasons to use forms and reports to display data instead of
tables and queries.
 
You can set the text alignment of controls on reports and forms.

But you cannot set the text alignment of a field in a table or in a query.
