I have a simple table that can be recreated with the simple MWE below, I am compiling with XeLaTeX:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[letterpaper, left=19mm, right=19mm, top=3.52cm, bottom=2.84cm, headheight=38.7pt]{geometry}
\usepackage{setspace}
\setstretch{1.15}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Arial}
\usepackage{microtype}
\begin{document}
\begin{flushleft}
\begin{tabular}{@{}m{4.4cm}m{12.5cm}@{}}
\hline
\textbf{TO:} & Mr.\noindent and Mrs.\noindent J. Doe \\[0.54cm]
\hline
\textbf{SUBJECT:} & This is just a sample subject that is design to illustrate the text wrapping\\[0.54cm]
\hline
\textbf{DATE:} & \today \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{flushleft}
\end{document}
Which produces the following table:
As you can see in the first two rows, the contents of the cells next to one another aren't vertically aligned by their respective centres, I've added hline
s to make this obvious. How can I centre them properly?
