Consider the following piece of LaTeX code:
\begin{tabular}{p{1in}p{1in}} A & B\\ C & D\\ \end{tabular} How can I make the contents of each cell aligned in the center of the cell rather than the left? Note that I want to make sure that the widths of my columns are fixed, so I cannot use the "c" position attribute instead of "p{.1in}" to center my cell contents.

If you want to horizontally center all contents inside of a p type column, it is easier to use >{\centering\arraybackslash}p{5cm} instead of adding \centering to every single cell.
When you're using \begin{center} and end{center} the whole environment will be centered. The c in the tabular environment specify that the content inside a cell should be centered.
Select your table. On the Layout tab, in the Cell Size group, click AutoFit. Click Fixed Column Width.
\usepackage{array} in the preamble
then this:
\begin{tabular}{| >{\centering\arraybackslash}m{1in} | >{\centering\arraybackslash}m{1in} |} note that the "m" for fixed with column is provided by the array package, and will give you vertical centering (if you don't want this just go back to "p"
