Style used in table inherits an indent -- from what?
I'm using a style called Table Cell, which has 0 indent, in a table using the
"Table Grid 1" table style. Its built-in paragraph style has 0 indent. My Normal style and almost all other styles have 0 indent. But when I use Table Cell in this table, it has a 1" indent. I think an ancestor of this template had a 1" indent on Normal, but I can't find anything in this template that has it. Can anyone tell me where the indent could come from? When I highlight the cells and remove the indent from the paragraphs, the style is shown as "Table Cell +". -- Christopher Brewster Lockheed Martin, Eagan MN Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...neral/201002/1 |

FYI, I got rid of the problem (but still don't understand it). I created a
"neutral" table using Table Insert. It doesn't have any hidden formatting. christophercbrewster wrote: I'm using a style called Table Cell, which has 0 indent, in a table using the "Table Grid 1" table style.

I need to amend my second posting. A table created by Table Insert does
have the built-in indent. What I did worked when I imported the text from the first table. Those were the paragraphs from which I had removed the indent. When pasted into the new table, they didn't get the indent back, but starting fresh in the new table still gives me the indent, so my question remains. -- Christopher Brewster Lockheed Martin, Eagan MN Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...neral/201002/1 |

It now sounds like the indent is in the table style. If you have
customizations you want to keep, you'll have to modify the style: Click format button in the table modify style dialog paragraph and adjust the indents to 0. Otherwise, delete Table Grid. Word will delete the style from the document (that is it will no longer be in use) and return the style to its "factory" settings. Another option in W2003 is to apply the Table Normal style and in W2007 to clear the table style, which applies Table Normal. Pam christophercbrewster wrote: I need to amend my second posting.

Your second suggestion led me to the real solution. There was a table style
called (I think) Table Indent. When I deleted it, the tables started behaving normally. I would suspect myself of having created that table style, but I don't know how to create table styles, so I don't know where it came from. Could a paragraph style that I used in a table have made Word make a new table style? -- Christopher Brewster Lockheed Martin, Eagan MN Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...neral/201002/1 |

No. Paragraph styles, even those we make to use only with tables, are just
paragraph styles. But if you got the document or the template it is based on from someone else, the table style may have come from there. And if all new tables had that stable style, it must have been set as the default. Pam christophercbrewster wrote: Your second suggestion led me to the real solution.
