Default Center Tables with Indent

"Scott" wrote:

Lets say I have some body text that is indented to 1.0 inch. Now if I create
a table and center it, it gets centered between the right and left page
margins. Is there any way to make it centered between the 1.0 inch left
indent and the right page margin?

I know if I go to Table Properties that I can specify an indent, but only if
it is left aligned. If I try to center it, then I can no longer specify any
left indent.

This seems like it would be very basic and I can't believe that I can't
figure it out...and I'd assume Microsoft must have thought about this as it
is a very common thing to do.


You'd be amazed at all the things MSFT has not tought about! In their
defense, it is quite a large application...

One way of doing what you want is to sandwich your table between two
continuous section breaks, set the left margin of that small section to one
inch, then center the table.
