Issue with Table Margins

Post by todd.richardson »

I created a Table Style that is meant to enforce a Left margin of 30px. This indent looks correct in the Preview window in the Table Editor (see screen number 1 below), but when I create a new table based on this style, the Left margin is not enforced (screen number 2). Any idea why? Am I missing something?

Table Editor preview:

Table style in topic:

I should note that the margin is also not respected when I change the table style of an existing table to the style where the margin is specified. As a separate inquiry, how do you control the indents (margins) of a table once it has already been placed? Is there a way to do this manually, or does it have to be done through the table editor?

Thanks,
Todd

Might depend on how the second table was set to be positioned. If it went with "default" or "centered", then it'll ignore the margin-left, I think, in favor of centering the table. Make sure when you insert the table and select the table stylesheet that you also set the table to be positioned to the left.

This problem occurs even when Align is set to Left (if that was the setting you were referring to). Any other thoughts for what might be causing this?

Thanks for the quick reply.
