By default the ColumnN.Header1.Alignment = 6 for grids... meaning... "Top Center. Aligns the text in the middle with equal spaces to the right and left, at the top of the column.". Thought it appears 0, the default is said as 6.
In VFP it says the same, but it used 0 instead of 6 which means "Middle Left. Aligns the text flush left and centers it vertically.".
Hope you set this. If you want to set this property for all of your grids.. you can do a subclassing of the Grid from the GridBase, set this property with a setall command in its init event, and use this subclass in all your applications.
The code to be put wll be..
With This
.SetAll("Alignment","myValue","HEADER"

ENDWITH
REplace the myValue with the choice you decide.
Hope this helps
