Good Day,
I have a two column table and the text in just near the top line of the block.
Can you assist in getting the text in the middle of the block instead of the top. That is aligning the text in the block to be in the center and not the top part

Text Formatting in a table
You could use

tabular within a tabular cell (and make a macro for it not to have to type so much, or \vcenter, or \adjustbox, or \parbox within the cell for alignment, putting \parbox into a column type specifier for example.Stefan

Text Formatting in a table
An alternate way may be to use 
array's m column. Just don't mix m with p columns within the same tabular environment, that may have the opposite effect: if, say, you specify m for the shorter text (that ended up at the top) but p for the longer text, the shorter text gets vertically centered to the longer text's top line, so instead of vertically centering both column's cells you'd drop the longer cell by about half the height of the shorter cell (if that goes over more than a single line, too).
Pitfalls all around
