Andy:

The position of text in a table is controlled by the style applied to the
text.

Unless you changed it, that could be Normal style. If it is, and you put an
indent on Normal style, it will affect the text in your tables.

If you have Normal style set to "Automatically Update" than any time you set
an indent on "any" paragraph in Normal style, every other paragraph in the
document (including those within tables) that have Normal as their style
will be affected.

I suggest that you create a paragraph style named "Table Text". Set it to
the formatting you want, make sure its left, right, above abd below settings
are 0 and apply it to all of your tables.

I STRONGLY suggest that you download Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office and
apply it, before you get any more nasty surprises :-)

Cheers

Thanks for your reply.

However, the macro didn't seem to work. It did move some of the tables
themselves to the left but it didn't move the actual text within the tables
to the left at all.
